Chinese state-backed companies have significantly increased investments in Colombian infrastructure projects since trade deals were established between 2008 and 2019. These investments encompass critical sectors, including ports, highways, mining, energy, and public transportation systems like metro lines and light rail. Concerns arise from the secretive nature of these deals, the potential for Chinese companies to control vital infrastructure, and the influx of Chinese workers. Several projects have faced controversies involving corruption allegations, environmental concerns, labour disputes, and the sidelining of local engineering firms. These investments are reshaping Colombia's infrastructure landscape, fostering economic growth while simultaneously raising questions about sovereignty and transparency. The Colombian government is now reviewing the deals to renegotiate them in some situations.
