ARDILA, Carlos Alberto e RODRIGUEZ, Jessica Andrea. Chinese geostrategic vision and its incidence on Latin America and Africa: A view from the theory of naval power. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.23, pp.1-22. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.303.
China has had a significant incidence in various sectors of African and Latin American politics, economy, and trade. There is no denying that its foreign policy has strategic interests in both regions. One of the most outstanding features of Chinese politics is its desire to promote cooperation to foster a renaissance between Asia and Latin America and Africa. Unlike the old colonial masters, China is committed to providing these regions with new opportunities for development. Bearing in mind Alfred Mahan’s theory of naval power, and the strategic rearguard that, at a given time, it allowed the United States, China is attempting to maintain the strategic center of gravity, which the economic control of Latin America and Africa and its surrounding resources provides to generate a strategic expansion that would ensure its interests and power in the hemisphere. In exchange, China strives to promote economic, commercial, political, and social development in African and Latin American societies.
