Evan Ellis - Latest Trends in PRC Security Engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean
Dear Colleague,
With this email, I am proud to share with you my just published study on the latest trends in PRC engagement with Latin America in the military and security sector, just published in English by The Diplomat, and translated, adapted and republished in Spanish by InfoBAE. My sincere thanks to both distinguished journals for their support and time with my works.
The work discusses the latest PRC activities in the sector, within the framework of seven important trends:
Focus of PRC Arms Purchases on Anti-U.S. Populist States
Chinese Use of Gifts to Develop Security Relationships
Procurement and Quality Difficulties
Setbacks in PRC Arms Sales to Democratic States
Increasingly Persistent PRC military presence in Latin America
Expanding Activities by PRC-Based Private Security Companies in Latin America
Increasing Training of Latin American Security Personnel in the PRC
The work is available in English here for download:

Podcast and Radio Shows:
As always, I would also like to share with you the links to my latest video presentations and podcasts:
These include my presentation, in Spanish, on the same topic of trends in PRC Defense Engagement in the region, to the Red China-ALC. The program, and the group is hosted by my distinguished colleague and friend, Dr. Enrique Dussel Peters, head of the Mexico-China Center (CECHIMEX) at Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM). CECHIMEX is one of the region’s premier centers for China and China-Latin America studies; it was an honor for me to share this new work in that forum.:
My audiovisual products also include my latest segments on the John Batchelor Show, in his special ongoing series on Latin America, The New World Report. You may find these weekly podcasts, which we have been doing regularly for well over a year now, as a useful analysis of key events in the region.
