Como uma das maiores economias globais, a China mantém próximos laços políticos e econômicos com seus parceiros comerciais. O país objetiva reforçar essas conexões pela utilização de Investimento Estrangeiros Diretos (IED), se valendo da Iniciativa do Cinturão e Rota (ICR) em projetos de infraestrutura. Essa iniciativa almeja desenvolver a infraestrutura dos países dela participantes, solucionar a capacidade excedente em setores industriais chineses, promover a internacionalização do renminbi e reforçar os laços existentes. Nesse contexto, deve a situação do MERCOSUL ser considerada, vez que possuem uma duradoura relação com a China em termos comerciais e políticos. Portanto, o presente artigo verifica se o IED Chinês nos países do MERCOSUL converge com os objetivos da ICR mencionados. Através do método dedutivo conclui-se que nos três principais setores beneficiados pelo IED Chinês em cada país do MERCOSUL, independentemente de laços formais à ICR, existe um claro foco nos setores de Energia, Transporte e Metais, que não apenas convergem com os objetivos acima elencados, mas também garantem à China as commodities essenciais para alimentar a sua indústria de alta tecnologia.
