Abstract

In this article, the authors conclude that the "soft power" of the PRC, despite its lagging positions from the same “soft power” of the United States in Latin America, is gradually attracting more and more audiences in Latin American states. At the same time, thanks to the carefully thought-out (although slow) offensive cultural policy of absorption and “capture”, the PRC is extending its economic and sometimes political influence within Latin American region.

KeywordsLatin America, PRC, “soft power”, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador
