The theory of China’s peaceful rise came from Deng, Bi-Jian who is the ex-vice-president of Party School of the Central Committee of C.P.C. He launched a statement with a topic “the New Path of China’s Peaceful Rise and the Future of Asia” in Boao Forum for Asia in 2003. In his statement, he thought that China has already created a strategic path that suits china’s actual conditions and the features of this era during these 25 years since the policy of reform and opening-up. After 2003, the relations between China and Latin American countries are developing rapidly in economy, politics and cultural interchange. Sino-Latin America relations became more and more profound in different aspects today. However, Latin America has been labeled as “America’s backyard” for a long time. Since Monroe’s Doctrine, United States regarded Latin America as a part of America, and considered any threat to Latin America as the threat to America’s national interest. As the rising China and the change of international system, China’s diplomatic policy to Latin America is more active and aggressive. As a result, it tempts the U.S into being suspicious about the significance of China’s diplomatic policy to Latin America. The study tries to investigate China’s diplomatic strategy toward Latin America through the frame of level of analysis. This study uses four levels of analysis (level of world system, level of international relations, social level, and governmental level). The concept of four levels of analysis comes from six levels of analysis which were created by Bruce Russett, Harvey Starr and David Kinsella. As distinct from Kenneth Waltz’s three levels of analysis (individual level, state level, and international level), six levels of analysis, including the characters of policy maker, policy maker’s position in government, structure of government, structure of society, international relations and world system, are better than three levels of analysis. Those levels are more sophisticated to examine the significance of China’s diplomatic strategy toward Latin America from the view of neorealism and neoliberalism perspectives.
