China’s Voice in Latin American Media

Brazilian journalist Igor Patrick spent four years in China and Latin America researching his book on how China’s propaganda organs influence Latin American media. Through detailed case studies on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, Patrick reveals how Chinese actors in the region:
form alliances with local media to disseminate Beijing’s narratives
conceal the identities of Chinese state journalists who generate social media content targeted at Latino audiences
limit negative coverage of China and place positive stories written in China
Please join us for a discussion of this important study of China’s strategies to shape Latin American views of the PRC.
