Peru–China Free Trade Agreement

The Peru–China Free Trade Agreement is more than a trade deal—it is a strategic bridge between Asia and Latin America. This Strategic Intelligence Report examines China’s first-ever FTA with a Latin American nation and how it has quietly expanded Beijing’s economic and resource footprint in the Western Hemisphere.

The report traces the evolution of the agreement from its implementation to its ongoing optimisation, highlighting how tariff elimination on over 90% of goods accelerated bilateral trade, boosted Peru’s mineral and agro-exports, and secured China long-term access to critical resources such as copper. It dissects the deeper political-economic trade-offs: trade imbalances, rising dependence on Chinese imports, leadership volatility in Peru, and mounting socio-environmental resistance linked to mining and infrastructure projects.

Using a PEST and strategic assessment lens, the report evaluates technology transfer gaps, capacity constraints, and the geopolitical implications of flagship projects like the Chancay Port, positioning Peru as a Pacific trade hub aligned with China’s global connectivity ambitions.

Designed for policymakers, investors, trade strategists, geopolitical risk analysts, and supply-chain leaders, this intelligence product converts trade data into strategic foresight.

Trade agreements shape influence long before alliances do. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you track how economic corridors become geopolitical leverage—before dependencies harden and options narrow.
