Chile’s Cross-Strait Relations and its Dependence on China
On April 14, 2025, Hannig Núñez Sasha, a doctoral candidate at the Graduate School of Law, appeared on an episode of the Global Taiwan Institute (GTI) podcast, Chile’s Cross-Strait Relations and its Dependence on China (GTI Insights, Season 6, Episode 2). In this episode, he discussed Chile’s dependence on the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the mining sector and how this dependence relates to Chile’s position on cross-Strait relations. Hannig Núñez pointed out that Chilean politicians have been taking increasingly pro-Beijing stances on Taiwan. She also noted that while some Chilean organizations, such as CAD, are working to raise awareness of PRC propaganda in Spanish, the Taiwanese government has struggled to establish a strong presence in Chilean society and counter the narratives of the Chinese Communist Party.
