Abstract
In order to secure its energy supply for economy development, China enhances trade relations with Latin America continuously. Although distant, Latin America has many attractions to China—raw materials and energy, the arena to contain Taiwan’s international space, the place to challenge “one super power” structure and to promote diverse global new order post the Cold War, and even the corner stone to accomplish its role as one of the major powers. Therefore, it is necessary for China to actively develop the relations with Latin America.n the past, China had limited influence in Latin America due to insufficient national strength and the fact that Latin American has been the “backyard” of the United States. Nevertheless, with its growing economic power, plus the over stretch of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the deepened cracks among the United States and some Latin American countries such as Venezuela and Cuba, China has gained the chance to play a role in Latin America. Although some researches show that China can not challenge the United States in Latin America in the near future, the increasing political and economic relations among China and Latin America countries will impact Taiwan’s diplomatic ties in this area.his study is to compare PRC’s Latin America policies in different stages based on its external strategic thinking, and to explore the historical changes as well as the assessments of PRC’s Latin America policies and their likely impacts on Taiwan.
