This paper observes the first China’s investment experience in Latin America. Coming of Chinese investors in Peru took place as a result of the ambiguous process of privatization of Peruvian state-owned enterprises. The main problems accompanying the activities of the new owners were labor relations with the local residents, and non-compliance with investment obligations. The research summarises that the origins of these problems.
