| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 東亞研究所 === 106 === In recent years, China and Latin American countries have developed closer relations in various fields such as politics, economy and humanities. Through promoting Confucius Institute in Latin America, China seeks to improve its comprehensive national strength, enhance its international status and promote the sustainable development of Sino-Latin America relations. This thesis, through analyzing Confucius Institutes in Latin America, discussed the trend of China-Latin America relations and China’s cultural soft power in Latin American countries. It was found that the political and economic ties between China and Latin America have a profound impact on cultural exchanges because China attempts to make its cultural soft power match its hard power. However, despite the fact that the demand for Chinese language learning has indeed surged in Latin America, the improvement of China’s image in the region is less than expected.
