Kevin Gallagher, Associate Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, said that few existing financial relationships between China and Latin America would have lasting implications on China’s economic future.

Gallagher made the argument in a front-page article in China Daily on April 6 entitled, “Brazil Sole LatAm Nation in AIIB.”

From the text of the article:

Kevin Gallagher, an associate professor at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies atBoston University and co-director of the Global Economic Governance Initiative, said that LatinAmerican nations in many ways have their own version of AIIB.

Latin America already enjoys China as a member of the Inter-American Development Bank,China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) has set up approximately$35 billion in funds with Latin America, and of course Chinas policy banks provide upwards of$119 billion in finance to the region,” he wrote in an e-mail.
