Resumen
Using a gravity model, this article presents an analysis of aggregate trade flows aimed at identifying China?s impact on Latin America?s trade. The results obtained indicate that: i) China´s growth in the last years implied a growing supply of exports to this market from most countries in the World, including that of Latin American countries; ii) at the aggregate level, there was no indication that Chinese exports to third markets were crowding out LAC exports to those countries; and iii) a positive relationship between imports from China and exports to third markets was only found for the Southern Cone countries.
