About this episode
Just before taking off on his Latin America tour this month, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned about China's growing engagement in the region. But with the TPP off the table and the future of NAFTA in doubt, there's more room than ever for China to fill the vacuum left by United States. The OECD's head of the Latin America and Caribbean unit Ángel Melguizo speaks with AS/COA Online's Elizabeth Gonzalez about how the region can shape its relationship with Beijing.
