As a result of the deepening of relations between Argentina and China, and the promotion of Spanish language learning in higher education in China, Chinese university students have become active participants, communicators and promoters of bilateral relations. This article pays attention to the stereotypical image that these university students have about Argentina. For this purpose, the results of a questionnaire applied to 412 Chinese university students are used. The analysis shows that this group has formed stereotypes in five dimensions and determines the impact among the respondents of those related to sympathy and interest in this South American nation and its people.

Keywords : Argentina; stereotypes; Chinese university students; exploratory factor analysis; national image.
