This edition of China Currents<\/em> offers three distinct types of articles.<\/p>\n The first group of three essays focuses on China\u2019s expanding relationships in Latin America and the Caribbean. All three were first published by The Carter Center<\/a> as part of the China Research Center and The Carter Center\u2019s joint organization of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the International Consortium for China Studies. We are delighted to have received permission to reprint condensed versions of the originals. Enrique Dussel Peters provides an overview of China\u2019s economic relations with Latin America and the Caribbean, with a particular emphasis on the growing geopolitical competition with the United States. Haibin Niu offers suggestions about how China and Latin American nations might forge productive, cooperative relations going forward. Margaret Myers and Rebecca Ray outline the Trump administration\u2019s decidedly negative view of China\u2019s economic interactions in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
