In the early 1970s, Argentina joined a group of Latin American countries, including Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela, that initiated diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. The change of course in Argentine foreign policy, which until then had exclusively recognised Taiwan, marked the beginning of a new era in bilateral relations and regionalised a process of opening up to Asia.
Evidence shows that the US needs to catch up with China regarding technology. A list by Professor Allison of Harvard University in a book published by the Aspen Institute in 2020 shows seven sectors lagging. In January 2024, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute published a report detailing the lag in 9 sectors and 64 sub-sectors. In response, President Trump's administration placed tariffs on products of Chinese origin starting from March 2018. President Biden extended it and designed an import substitution policy to catch up with the leader.
