Gallagher Says Diversifying A Challenge for China
Kevin Gallagher, associate professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, said that diversifying its trade with Latin America is a challenge China will need to face.
The comments came in a Feb. 2 article in China Daily USA titled “Diversifying trade challenges China, Latin America: Analysts.”
In the article, Gallagher said:
“The majority of trade between Latin America and China has and probably will continue to be focused on commodities, according to Kevin Gallagher, a professor of international relations at Boston University and co-director of the Global Economic Governance Initiative.
“Commodities are still what Latin America is all about,” he told China Daily. “However, there may be some room to open up that trade a bit more.”
