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."

唯一一個不靠太平洋的中美洲陸橋國家，以養殖漁業來解決友邦可能面臨的漁獲不足問題也是當然：

「美洲國家組織下所屬之汎美發展基金會（PADF）接受我中華民國政府所援助之資金，於貝里斯南部地區協助當地居民因應氣候變遷，提升其調適能力，由其是針對賴海為生之漁民，在面對漁獲減少之情況下，能覓得其他謀生之道；在本（2015）年11月5日，該組織之貝里斯代表Minerva Pinelo參訪位於貝里斯Cayo省由台貝雙方共同執行之貝里斯水產養殖計畫吳郭魚苗繁養殖中心，參訪期間雙方共同討論輔導南部地區之漁民轉為吳郭魚養殖魚戶可行性，同時也針對開發吳郭魚在貝里斯之行銷活動有了相關合作規劃，其一即為邀請貝里斯著名主廚赴貝里斯擁有廣大收視群之晨間節目“Open Your Eyes”推廣吳郭魚美食，以提升貝國民眾對養殖吳郭魚之接受度。」
