As President Trump withdrew from Trans-Pacific Partnership creating a degree of uncertainty in global trade, Chinese President Xi Jinping praised open trade and globalization during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos; as the current administration plans to build a wall on the border with Mexico, China is building a bridge to Latin America through investments, trade, and cultural exchanges; as Ford canceled its factory in Mexico, Huawei is selling more smartphones and building more telecom towers in the Dominican Republic. At this critical juncture in history, the University of Chicago plans to host a panel dedicated to fostering conversations about opportunities and challenges affecting the future development of the relationship between China and Latin America. We are inviting renowned academia in this arena to discuss this important topic.
