China: ¿oportunidad o utopía para el crecimiento económico de México y de América Latina?

China is called to be the next world economic leader in the 21st century, this has meant that different countries seek to link with that nation to take advantage of the economic boom they have recorded over 30 years and thereby detonate their own growth. The Latin American governments, in their desire to link with China and take advantage of this scenario, developed a strategy that predominantly aims to export raw materials and natural resources to this Asian country and, on the other hand, to allow in their territories the development of port infrastructure and land, energy and mining, among others. The way in which China has sustained the growth of its product is not only based on purely economic measures but also demographic, institutional and under strict state control. The Chinese growth model can not be replicated and its dynamics do not benefit homogenously all regions of the planet. In this sense Latin America and Mexico will have marginal and short-term economic benefits if they insist on linking to China by applying a primary export model instead of aspiring to projects of greater transcendence.
