This week on Independent Thinking, we explore the growing battle for influence in Latin America between the US and China. In just two decades, China has gone from a minor player in the region to a dominant force – challenging the US.
How is President Trump's government responding and could his policies actually give Beijing more room to expand? Guest host Chris Sabatini  is joined by Yu Jie , Robert Evan Ellis , and Bruno Binetti  to discuss the shifting power dynamics and what they could mean for the global balance of power.
