Something is changing in the geopolitical landscape of Latin America. This year, at least three presidential hopefuls from Colombia, four senators, and a minister have traveled to China. Coincidence? Probably not.

The historic relationship between Colombia and the United States has been losing strength rapidly. While Washington focuses on other fronts, Beijing is taking the opportunity to strengthen ties with key political players in Bogotá. It's not just diplomacy: we're talking about possible economic realignments that could redefine trade flows, bilateral agreements, and even regulatory stances.

For those of us who follow global markets, these kinds of moves are not just background noise. They are signals. Changes in strategic alliances often precede shifts in economic policies, and that includes how governments approach technology, digital finance, and decentralized assets.

Latin America remains a contested board. And every visit counts.
