Dos décadas de relaciones florecientes entre China y América Latina son tan solo uno de los indicios de un orden mundial cambiante que nos exige repensar los marcos teóricos que utilizamos para entender las relaciones transregionales. Este artículo describe cómo un análisis transpacífico puede ayudarnos a comprender mejor las relaciones conceptuales y materiales entre América Latina y Asia a través de la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué ocurre cuando trasladamos nuestro énfasis desde la comparación de lo que desde hace mucho tiempo se ha entendido como «áreas» separadas a interrogar su co-constitución material e intelectual? El análisis se basa en mi investigación etnográfica original en América Central y participación en el fértil campo de los estudios académicos transpacíficos para sugerir que una analítica transpacífica puede trascender las geografías de la diferencia y los puntos críticos transdisciplinarios tradicionales que han definido los estudios de área para ofrecer un acercamiento transregional sólido, tal como plantean los autores Monson y Shankar. Incorporando una historia más larga y compleja de las relaciones en todo el Pacífico y utilizando un acercamiento metodológico translocal, argumento que un marco transpacífico puede esclarecer las relaciones contemporáneas entre China y América Latina para enfocarse menos en ellas como un campo de batalla por la hegemonía mundial y más como un espacio para invocar mundos nuevos.
