espanolSince slightly more than half of those countries that recognize Taiwan are located in Latin America and the Caribbean –LAC–, Taipei and Beijing have been striving to achieve diplomatic recognition in the region, using development aid as a foreign policy tool to gain diplomatic partners. This article analyzes statements by governmental officers and previous literature, as well as quantitative development aid data, in order to assess the impact of Taiwanese aid program in LAC. It concludes that Taipei has indeed some leverage to contain China’s advancement in the region, due to its status of democratic country, its history of successful development and especially its strong ties with Washington. Nevertheless, in the face of China’s renewed efforts in imposing its “One China Policy”, Taiwan’s possibilities to avoid diplomatic isolation remain uncertain. EnglishDado que poco mas de la mitad de los paises que reconocen a Taiwan se encuentran en America Latina y el Caribe, Taipei y Pekin se han esforzado por lograr reconocimiento diplomatico en la region, utilizando programas de ayuda para el desarrollo para conseguir socios diplomaticos. Este articulo analiza las declaraciones de los funcionarios gubernamentales y la literatura anterior, asi como los datos cuantitativos de la ayuda para el desarrollo, a fin de evaluar el impacto del programa de ayuda taiwanes en ALC. Se concluye que Taipei tiene cierta influencia para contener el avance de China en la region, debido a su estatus de pais democratico, su historia de desarrollo exitoso y, especialmente, sus fuertes vinculos con Washington. Sin embargo, frente a los renovados esfuerzos de China para imponer su politica de “Una Sola China”, las posibilidades de Taiwan de evitar el aislamiento diplomatico siguen siendo inciertas.
