Abstract
China’s trading and investment relations in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have grown exponentially over the last two decades or so, to a point where China has outpaced the US as the number one trading partner for some LAC countries1 and is the second-largest trading partner in Latin America.2 This means that China is an important political and economic force within the Caribbean, requiring examination from various specialisms. In early 2019 a symposium titled ‘Exploring New Horizons in Caribbean–China Trade and Investment Relations’ was held at the University of West Indies at Cave Hill (UWICH), Barbados. The symposium was hosted by the Confucius Institute, Cave Hill Campus and the UWICH as part of the board meeting between UWICH and the Chinese University for Politics and Law (CUPL). The symposium was organised by the Shridath Ramphal Centre for International Trade Law, Policy and Services (SRC), the UWICH Faculty of Law and Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (SALISES).
