| Sumario: | In 1966, Uruguayan journalist Carlos María Gutiérrez visited the People's Republic of China (PRC) as part of China's People's Diplomacy initiative. This article examines his travel writings and official Chinese reports to explore the complexities of intellectual and cultural exchanges between the PRC and Latin America during the Cold War. It argues that Gutiérrez's journey led to a nuanced reassessment of China's revolutionary path, underscoring the significance of first‐hand encounters in shaping Latin American perspectives on socialism. His experience exemplifies the implications of People's Diplomacy, validating socialism as a path for social transformation in Latin America and the role of intellectuals in bridging ideological divides. |
