A new report claims that China is using its increased influence in Latin America to circumvent the Panama Canal with massive infrastructure projects in Peru and Brazil.
The report, which was published on Tuesday by Horizon Advisory, warned, “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is well on its way to seizing influence and coercive leverage across Latin America.”
Horizon Advisory explained that China has opened a new port in Chancay, Peru, which “allows China to bypass the Panama Canal while cutting transit times and costs for trans-Pacific trade with Latin America.” The report also noted that China is investing in a “bi-oceanic railway” in Brazil that “locks in Chinese influence and presence” in the region.
