The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the Belt and Road initiative（BRI） for Argentina，starting from the premise that Latin America is not considered fundamental for the BRI and that Argentina played a secondary role in its economic relationship with China.In other words，could Argentina be considered to be on the periphery of the periphery for China and the BRI?And a more important question，could Argentina escape from that position to which seem to be historically condemned?To answer these questions，a case study has been selected that is the railroad Belgrano Cargas（FBC）because of the importance it represents for Argentine and Chinese interests.Argentina considers it a fundamental means to strengthen the national economy and connect，above all，the interior of the country（Central and Northwest）with Buenos Aires：China，on the other hand，sees in the FBC another means to create a bi-oceanic corridor capable of transporting primary products from Argentina to Chile and from there to China.The recovery and reactivation of the FBC would unite these countries with China in the global BRI.
