加勒比海的自由連結:
"加勒比海和附近的中美洲、非洲的前歐洲國家殖民地以及美國部分地區每年紀念蓄奴制度在19世紀上半葉遭到廢除，其中貝里斯、聖克里斯多福、聖露西亞和聖文森的解放日是8月1日，曾受法國統治的海地則是在1804年1月1日成為西半球第一個廢除奴隸制度的國家。"
美中的中南美洲角力:
"From the development of these relationships, the pressure on the federal government on issues of interest to China is exercised by internal allies (municipalities and state governments tied to advantageous partnerships and companies concerned with regulations that could harm or improve their export flows). Thus, the source of the Chinese lobby is not the Chinese government itself, but local players with clear interests in maintaining or expanding healthy and profitable relationships. This is much more effective, as the strain on bilateral relations is occasionally neutralized."
"The key is to understand the medium- and long-term strategy and offer alternatives for engagement. Solid and sincere partnerships between the U.S. and Latin American governments, with a focus on opportunities and not just problems, would generate a more fluid dialogue, which could encourage Latin American leaders to more seriously consider the warnings issued by Washington regarding China’s influence. Furthermore, if it cannot fight on all fronts (commercial, economic, financial), the U.S. can focus on what is most important in the medium term."
