The backwardness of infrastructure is a major "soft underbelly" that plagues Latin American countries. In recent years, the economic development of Latin America requires the strengthening of energy and other infrastructure construction. However, due to insufficient funds, technology and construction capacity, many Latin American countries are unable to meet their infrastructure needs. Through cooperation with China, these problems will be "solved." . According to statistics, from 2005 to 2020, China has put into use or under construction a total of 138 infrastructure projects in Latin America, with a total project capital of more than 94 billion US dollars.Editor/Ma Xue
