La balanza comercial de América Latina con China y Estados Unidos en el contexto de la guerra comercial entre Trump y Xi Jinping

The rapid rise of China in the world economic sphere and the efforts of the United States to maintain itshegemonic role in the international system have had adverse consequences such as the most recent trade war between the two largest economies in the world and the consequent decline in trade  exchanges. This document shows the recentframework in which the commercial relationship of Latin America with the United States and China is developed, and then analyzes the trade indicators of Latin America with these two countries. The study method was carried out through an analysis of the figures of trade relations in terms of the values of imports and exports between countries. The data indicate that China’s participation in the exports and imports of the countries of the region has been increasing, at a rate that seems not to be influenced by the recent struggle with the United States for hegemony.
