Abstract
For Chinese companies entering Latin America and the Caribbean, the struggle to establish themselves, win contracts, and initiate projects is only the beginning. Once operating in the region, those companies become local employers, members of the community, and legal entities subject to the actions of the Latin American governments in which they are operating, whether or not they fully recognize and seek to embrace and actively manage those roles.
