Sumario:After the end of the Cold War, the reordering of the international system led to the emergence of proposals for global governance that were broader than those determined by the West. In this context and in China, the Tianxia system has gained notoriety as an alternative to non-Western theories of international relations and as a new framework for global governance. This article aims to analyse this system in terms of the development of Chinese foreign policy, testing its conceptual applicability in the relationship between China and Latin America through interregional cooperation, understood as a conceptual and theoretical framework of international relations that has led to progress being made in terms of dialogue and mutual knowledge. Latin America has been inserted in the Tianxia system through the Belt and Road Initiative, which is based on the contemporary reinterpretation of the Tianxia order: the Chinese concept of how the world should be organised based on a tax system, which established an international hierarchical order that brought many peoples to the Chinese imperial court.
