Abstract

This chapter provides some insights on the analysis of China’s economic growth and the significance of Latin American markets for China. The macroeconomic data on Chinese exports and its GDP, as well as the annual economic growth rate, has already surpassed the United States and the main economic zones of Europe. But can such economic growth be based on a sustainable model? The chapter attempts to go beyond the traditional view that Latin America constitutes the backyard of China to locate manufactures and to import raw materials and natural resources. The author presents an analysis outlining the concept of multipolarity, or polycentric world economic areas that emphasize the current process of globalization, market integration, and multilevel international relations based on economic and political links, such as the polipolystic markets of China and Latin America.
