On June 2, the Reference News website reported that Bloomberg News published an article titled "In the U.S.-China trade war, Latin America sides with Beijing" on May 30. The report stated that a monthly survey jointly conducted by Bloomberg News and Brazil's Atlas Intelligence showed that in this region, especially in Mexico, one of the United States' major trading partners, there is growing public demand for closer economic ties with China.
According to the report, amid the global economic disruption caused by the Trump administration's unpredictable tariff policies, nearly two-thirds of Mexican respondents surveyed in May believed that their country should strengthen commercial ties with this Asian economic giant. In Brazil, more than half of the respondents supported deepening economic and trade cooperation with China. In countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, the majority of the public also clearly expressed support for developing commercial relations with China.
The more positive views of China among the people of Latin America are the latest consequence of Trump's aggressive imposition of tariffs and his strong foreign policy. Although leaders of regional countries such as Mexico have tried to avoid offending the U.S. president, many people in the region now see Beijing as a more reliable business partner than Washington.
The survey also found that in almost all Latin American countries surveyed, more people believe that China rather than the United States provides the best investment and financing opportunities. (Compiled/translated by Wu Mei)
