This work aims to show cyberspace as the fifth domain of international politics, in which the People's Republic of China and the United States build cyber power, with the ability to influence the development of cybernetic capabilities in Latin America. The text is divided into seven sections. The first presents the importance of cyberspace in international security. The second presents key concepts for domain analysis from the Social Sciences. In the third section, the categories of hard power, soft power, and smart power are analyzed. The fourth section points out international indices to measure cyber power and cyber capabilities. The fifth describes the method of comparative analysis applied to the study. The sixth compares the cyber power of China and the United States. In the seventh, asymmetries and areas of influence and cooperation in Latin America are identified. It is concluded that the United States is an example of national policy and organizational structure in cybersecurity for Latin America, while China is a benchmark for technological resources, with the potential to penetrate the economic strategy of the region.
