Resumo

The article provides an analysis of the Chinese presence and influence in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and how it affects regional integration processes that exist in the region. We start from a brief qualitative analysis, stressing the role of foreign influence on regional integration, highlighting how the Chinese expansion plan affects the case of Latin American integration. Then, a critical quantitative analysis of the transactions between LAC-China is carried out, analyzing imports/exports, preferential trade agreements (PTA), and foreign direct investment (FDI). The data comprises the 2001-2016 period and were retrieved from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN Comtrade), World Integrated Trade Solutions (WITS), China-Latin America Finance Database, and China Global Investment Tracker. In conclusion, we highlight the growing
 Chinese influence in the Latin America region, emphasizing that the bilateral narrowing of Latin American countries with China has an indirect and adverse impact on regional integration.
