La inmigración no es solo un tema en Estados Unidos; ha generado un intenso debate 5,000 millas al sur, en Chile. Por un lado, los líderes empresariales chilenos enfatizan la necesidad de más trabajadores ante el envejecimiento de la población, y los defensores de derechos humanos exigen que los inmigrantes sean tratados con dignidad. Pero, por otro lado, los opositores sostienen que la inmigración está sobrecargando los servicios sociales, aumentando la delincuencia y debilitando la identidad nacional.

Immigration isn’t just an issue in the United States: It has sparked intense debate 5,000 miles to the south in Chile. On one hand, Chilean business leaders stress the need for more workers amid an aging population, and human rights activists demand that immigrants be treated with dignity. But on the other, opponents argue that immigration is straining social services, increasing crime and undermining national identity.

China’s economic and political engagement in Latin America grew significantly in the first part of the 21st century. And yet, Latin American reporting on China has not grown apace. Too few Latin American journalists cover Chinese activities in the region and even fewer foreign correspondents from Latin America report on developments in China. This knowledge gap means journalists struggle to provide proper context for major trade and investment deals and are unprepared to investigate when scandals erupt. Latin American media outlets often lack the capacity or resources to cover foreign affairs in general, much less the geo-political repercussions of China-Latin American relations.
