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
