Recent events in Guyana and Paraguay show that COVID-19 vaccines have influenced governments, either directly or indirectly, toward Beijing’s political preferences. For Latin American and Caribbean countries looking to resist Chinese political pressure, it will be essential for nations across the hemisphere especially the United States to act quickly and cooperate in ways that can limit the influence of the PRC.
