The China-Global South Podcast | Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Latin American leaders to stand with Beijing in the fight against Donald Trump’s campaign to upend the international system. Xi made the appeal at a Ministerial gathering of Leaders and Senior Officials from across Latin America and the Caribbean that took place in Beijing on May. The President’s appeal underscores the challenging position that Latin American states now find themselves in, caught between the escalating great power rivalry between the United States and China. Alonso Illueca, CGSP’s Non-Resident Fellow for Latin America and the Caribbean, joins Eric from Panama City to discuss how different countries across the region are trying to foster closer economic ties with China without provoking a harsh response from the US.
