China, América Latina, Estados Unidos, Covid-19, Ruta de la Seda SanitariaResumen
En la última década, China se ha consolidado como un actor clave en el sistema internacional y su influencia se irradia a todos los rincones del mundo. América Latina no es una excepción a este fenómeno. La participación económica china en la región tuvo impactos políticos que han llevado a una competencia inevitable con Estados Unidos. Es en este contexto de competencia donde surge la pandemia COVID-19 que trae profundas consecuencias para los países latinoamericanos.
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las relaciones entre América Latina y China en el contexto de la competencia con Estados Unidos y la pandemia de COVID-19. El artículo aborda cómo ha evolucionado la competencia, particularmente en el área de la salud después del brote de COVID-19. Para ello, se discuten las principales acciones de China en la región desde una perspectiva teórica de economía política internacional y a partir de conceptos como la diplomacia de las mascarillas y la “wolf warrior diplomacy”.
