Global market patterns are changing, and China has become the largest growth market in Latin America.

East Rise, West Fall? Recently, U.S. media spoke the truth, revealing a fact!

Recently, Bloomberg published an article pointing out that China has surpassed the EU and the United States, becoming the largest growing market in Latin America in 2025. The trade volume with some countries even exceeds that of the United States. A professor from Mexico said outright: "Since World War I, no country other than the United States has had such influence in Latin America as China."

This matter is no small feat. It's not just about other countries exporting a few more goods to China. To put it plainly, more and more countries are beginning to realize the importance of the Chinese market, and many global giants are rushing to establish their presence in China.

For example, in February this year, Tesla set up its first energy storage super factory outside the United States in Shanghai, completing a crucial step. Apple has never stopped investing in China, with over 80% of its core suppliers setting up factories in China, and the production of products such as the iPhone and Vision Pro cannot be separated from the Chinese supply chain. Now, it's not only these tech giants but also many luxury brands that are rushing to enter the Chinese market. For example, in December this year, LVMH and Kering Group will open four flagship stores in Beijing consecutively.

Luxury brands want to reach Chinese consumers more accurately, and e-commerce platforms have become an important channel. During this year's Double 11, luxury goods saw growth on various e-commerce platforms. For example, brands like Burberry, Tory Burch, and Salvatore Ferragamo experienced double-digit growth on the e-commerce platform Vipshop. Looking at the entire year of 2025, in the first three quarters, the sales of luxury goods on Vipshop increased by more than 30% year-on-year, and the model of discounts plus genuine authentication by China Inspection and Certification attracted many young consumers.

From the trade shifts in Latin American countries, to the heavy investments of tech giants, and then to the accelerated expansion of luxury brands in China, it is clear that the Chinese market has already become an indispensable strategic high ground for global brands. This tightly integrated state is the most practical characteristic of the new era's global market landscape.
