To this end, the chapter first draws on the study of commercial laws and regulations, as well as on statistical material provided by business records from both sides of the Pacific, to explore the history of trade ties between Colombia and China since the beginning of the twentieth century; this account is then accompanied with a political theory about Colombia’s role in the struggle between China and the United States for global hegemony, and the pool of data is finally analyzed through economic theory, in order to offer a forecast of what to expect in the near future.
