“…However, EMNEs and particularly Chinese MNEs have started to position themselves in the global arena, changing the nature of international business and the global economy (Boussebaa & Morgan, 2014). Relevant examples include the role that CMNEs has begun playing in developing countries during the last years, particularly in Africa and Latin America (China Africa Research Initiative, 2021; Ding et al, 2021), their current role as a COVID‐19 vaccine producer and supplier to developing countries (AP, 2021; Stuenkel, 2021) and certainly the investments, opportunities and socioecological problems created for developing countries along the Belt and Road Initiative (Sun et al, 2019; Zhang et al, 2020). Thus, understanding the differences between DMNEs and CMNEs is a must for business and sustainability research.…”

This article examines multinationals' (MNEs) sustainability practices focusing on the SDGs in developing countries through studying sustainability reports of multinationals from China (CMNEs) and developed countries (DMNEs).Findings show significant differences in MNEs' approaches to the SDGs. DMNEs prioritise education, health and poverty, whereas CMNEs emphasise poverty, education and cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Conversely, inequality, hunger, consumption and production, oceans and peace, justice and strong institutions are poorly addressed. Most importantly, while contributing to sustainability, they foster inequalities among developing countries by over-focusing on China and India, against the pledge of Leaving No One Behind.

“…Even when European firms undertake the projects, some of their equipment are sourced from China (Albe & Sarah, 2021). From 2011-2018, most of the Chinese investments are in the energy sector (Ding et al, 2021). Not only in the energy sector, but Chinese investments are also significant even in agriculture, and infrastructure (Neves & Tulio, 2022).…”

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is increasingly turning out to become a global endeavor and has recently been extended to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. The diversity in the makeup of the nation-states in the region poses several challenges concerning the region's association with the BRI. For instance, Venezuela has borrowed heavily from China while being mired in economic troubles. The Venezuelan example serves as a caution to others as well as China on the intricacies of debt management and lending. This paper aims to study the challenges and risks arising from the Belt and Road Initiative extending to Latin America and the Caribbean region. This paper also tries to analyses as to whether a win-win outcome can be achieved for both China and the LAC nation-states and as to what China seeks from the region. An attempt has been made to evaluate the role that the global environment might play in this evolving relationship between China and the LAC nation-states. The paper also analyse the post pandemic BRI investment in the LAC region.
