U.S., China, And Latin America: How Far Does The Donroe Doctrine Go?
China's expanding trade, investment, and use of the renminbi in Latin America are testing the limits of U.S. efforts to decouple economically from China.

As Latin American nations deepen financial and commercial relationships with China, the United States faces strategic and economic dilemmas in maintaining regional dominance.
