“…Despite increasing political and economic closeness between Argentina and China, Chinese investment and infrastructure projects continue to face political opposition in the country, with politicians from China‐friendly political parties as well as those who are more suspicious of Chinese intentions opposing deals with China. Blanchard (2019) takes a similar “Conditionalist” view, as do Herrera‐Vinelli and Bonilla (2019), discussing warming ties between China and Ecuador under the leadership of Rafael Correa. In the case of Ecuador, Herrera‐Vinelli and Bonilla argue, it was the suitability of Chinese investment to the government's political agenda that led Ecuador to favor China and Chinese companies.…”

“…Blanchard (2019) identifies three positions on the impact of Chinese foreign direct investment on the policies of Latin American and Caribbean countries: the “Wealth is Power” camp, according to which China's investments give it political power and influence in countries; the “Politics is Power” camp, according to which Chinese investment leads to no major political changes; and the “Conditionalist ” camp, according to which the local political context determines the impact of Chinese investment. Luque (2019) and Urdinez et al (2018) argue that local political interactions in Argentina are key to the success or failure of Chinese‐backed initiatives.…”

This study analyzes how recent fishing disputes involving China and Latin American countries have been reported by local and global media. We conducted content and sentiment analysis of media articles, coding articles according to the sentiment (“positive,” “negative,” or “neutral”) they express toward China and the actions of its fishing fleet, based on the words used to describe the same. We also examined what topics are discussed in different media – issues that are more specific and “local” in nature or broader issues that go beyond specific incidents. According to our findings, Latin American media can be as negative in their reporting on China and Chinese actions as Anglo‐Saxon Western media but tend to focus more on local issues and specific incidents, whereas Anglo‐Saxon Western media are more likely to connect incidents to broader geopolitical issues. Deepening of China‐LAC economic relations have not reduced Latin American media's critical approach toward China. At the same time, the local media remain independent; they do not necessarily reproduce the same frames as global news platforms in their coverage of China. These findings reinforce the idea that LAC broadly does not want to choose sides in the China‐US rivalry.

“…Various works analyse international relations and, very especially, the role of China's investments and financial aids, such as those by Escribano (2013), Hogenboom (2014), Casanova et al (2016), Blanchard (2019) and Lapeña and Czubala (2018). They reflect how these financial aids by the Asian country are not always welcomed by broad sectors of the recipient countries' populations.…”

Globally, interest in the environment and its conservation is growing and primordial. In particular, CO2 emissions generated by productive processes in a given territory in order to satisfy own and global consumption. Two types of responsibilities stand out, the producer's and the consumer's. Based on the Multi-regional Input-Output Methodology, this study determined Ecuador's responsibility in terms of CO2 emissions, defining the economic sectors that have the greatest representation in these emissions, as well as establishing an assessment at the level of the Trade Balance. There has been a strong growth of Ecuador's Footprint of 145.26% from 2000 to 2015, with the transport and secondary sectors having the highest representation and the trade with the BRICS nations standing out. This results strengthens the need to foster a change in the population's and the public administrations' consumption patterns. So it is recommended that the authorities allocate part of the public budget to measures oriented to sustainable consumption.
