Abstract
China’s foreign policy has exerted some influence on the development of Latin America cooperatively as communication between the two sides deepens. This paper first analyzes the foundations of China-Latin America cooperation from internal and external factors. The internal factors mainly refer to China and Latin America’s willingness and choice tendency. External ones are considered from factors outside the two sides, such as the extra-regional country and historical factors. Secondly, this essay will detailedly illustrate their overall cooperation through four fields: economics, politics, culture, and the new development model - green development, which are also the essential manifestations of China’s foreign policy in affecting international politics in Latin America. Lastly, this essay will have a concise conclusion: China interacts with Latin American countries through cooperation, which also means that cooperation is the main form of interaction and the core of China’s foreign policy towards Latin America.
