The research revealed that Chile is the most mentioned country in the region, with the most predominant topics being related to the pandemic and economic cooperation. Ms. Hannig noted that Chile’s elite class has a very friendly attitude toward China, which makes it easier for them to enter the academic and business world. She commented that China’s interest in Chile is also related to its potential to expand its influence over other countries in the region.
