Popis: espanolEste estudio se aleja del enfoque que argumenta que China solo ejerce influencia en America Latina a traves de prestamos, ayuda e inversion, ya que China tambien ha incluido centros economicos sofisticados. China ha desarrollado iniciativas que este articulo denomina “influencias economicas no tradicionales” que se han establecido inicialmente con paises pragmaticos ubicados en la cuenca del Pacifico con los que China ha firmado acuerdos de libre comercio (Chile, Peru y Costa Rica). Con el fin de examinar esta regularidad empirica, el articulo aplica un analisis de conjunto difuso para explorar que factores son necesarios y que condiciones son suficientes para que un pais latinoamericano firme un TLC con China. Los resultados sugieren que el reconocimiento de China como economia de mercado, una economia complementaria con un bajo nivel de competencia industrial y un pais con un alto estandar de reglamentacion son condiciones para la firma de un TLC EnglishThis study distances itself from the approach that argues that China only exerts influence in Latin American through loans, aid and investment, since China has also established alignments that include sophisticated economic hubs. China has developed initiatives that this article calls "non-traditional economic influences" which have been established initially with pragmatic countries located in the Pacific Rim with which China has signed Free Trade Agreements (Chile, Peru and Costa Rica). In order to examine this empirical regularity, the article applies a Fuzzy-set Analysis exploring which factors are necessary and sufficient conditions for a Latin American country to sign an FTA with China. The results suggest that recognition of China as a market economy, a complementary economy with a low level of industrial competition, and a country with a high standard of regulations are conditions for signing an FTA
