Two weeks before the WTO (World Trade Organization) grants China market economy status, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center discusses the impact of the Asian giant’s trade practices in industries across the Americas. The event marks the launch in the United States of our groundbreaking report: Industrial Development in Latin America: What is China’s Role? 

Our report analyzes the effects of Chinese exports on Latin American deindustrialization. It concludes that if regional governments grant recognition of China as a market economy, the state of regional industry will worsen and countries will have diminished capacity to use trade defense measures such as anti-dumping duties.

The United States knows these challenges well, and from its experience we can draw important parallels to its neighbors in the South. Please join the Atlantic Council for a conversation with a panel of experts to discuss the impact of China’s global rise to industrial development in the Americas on November 15 at 9am.
