	abstract = {The relations between the People{\textquoteright}s Republic of China (PRC) and nearly all Latin American countries blossomed during the first half of the first decade of the twenty-first century. {\textquotedblleft}China fever{\textquotedblright} gripped the region. Latin American presidents, ministers, business executives and journalists {\textquotedblleft}discovered{\textquotedblright} China and its rapidly growing impact on the world{\textquoteright}s economy and on Latin America itself.
The principal explanation for this boom in {\textquotedblleft}China fever{\textquotedblright} was China{\textquoteright}s own economic boom and its widening and deepening worldwide spread. In the current decade, Sino-Latin American trade, and economic relations more generally, have grown at a spectacular pace. Improved political relations were a necessary part of the expansion in economic relations because intergovernmental agreements facilitate economic relations, but the exuberance of the economic boom outpaced the improvement in political relations. Military or militarily-sensitive relations changed little, notwithstanding the fears of some in the United States and elsewhere over this question.},
