PORTES, Alejandro e ARMONY, Ariel C.. Recovering ancestral values and creating new bonds: Chinese transnationalism in Latin America. Migr. desarro [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.26, pp.3-23. ISSN 1870-7599.
This article reviews the evolution of the economic and political relationships between China and Latin America, with particular attention given to the growing power and presence of the People's Republic of China throughout all countries of the continent and the revitalization of Chinese communities and their organizations in response to this presence. Currently, China not only exports industrial goods and capital to Latin America, but also businesspeople, students and merchants. This dual Chinese presence "from above", through inter-State relations, and "from below" via migration and the strengthening of transnational organizations, has had a growing effect upon the receiving societies that have not always cast a welcoming eye upon this simultaneous incursion. We describe the key results of the articles in this issue based on intensive studies carried out on the Chinese communities and organizations in four Latin American countries.
