China - Latin American relations have transformed over the last 10 years. November's BRICS Summit in Brasilia, at which Brazil and China affirmed their "strategic partnership", was a stark reminder of how China - Latin American relations are advancing further into new territory. From a time when China and its expanding industries looked to Latin America predominantly for its energy and raw materials, today these countries are forging ahead, not only to deepen trade, but also political and economic ties. China has since displaced the US to become Latin America's largest trading partner, as well as the region's biggest investor.

How are Latin American nations responding to China's deepening engagement with the region? Join our event#75 for a conversation with professor Guo Jie from Peking University, for addressing this and many other questions regarding the past decade of China - Latin American relations and which challenges lie ahead.
