Abstract
The Free Trade Agreement between Peru and China has as characteristics a long process of gestation and a brief process of negotiation. Tariffs benefits agreed allow for the great majority of potential Peruvian exports products to have access to tariffs reductions. On the other hand, almost all Peruvian products sensitive to Chinese competition were excluded from the tariff reduction process or were included with up to 17 years of tariffs reductions. After nine years of entering into force, it is concluded that the agreement has been beneficial for Peru, notwithstanding the essential characteristic of its trade structure: that of being interindustrial.

Summary
Rápidamente, el Mincetur aceleró el trabajo interno y de coordinación con su contraparte china para definir los términos de referencia del estudio y las formalidades para llevarlo a cabo. Además de los gremios empresariales manufactureros más importantes, también fueron actores relevantes los nuevos gremios de productores agroindustriales, así como sindicatos, la academia y organizaciones no gubernamentales. El Mincetur, para atender a estas preocupaciones domésticas, puso en práctica los procesos, mecanismos y medios de transparencia y comunicación ya desarrollados y exitosamente aplicados durante las negociaciones del TLC con Estados Unidos En relación a este proceso de transparencia y comunicación, los funcionarios del Mincetur se reunieron durante los preparativos previos a la primera ronda de negociaciones y antes y después de cada ronda; primero con los funcionarios de las diversas reparticiones gubernamentales responsables específicos de las áreas productivas y regulatorias; y luego con los gremios empresariales y representantes de los sindicatos, la academia y la sociedad civil. Ello permitió obtener el apoyo generalizado al acuerdo y, en su momento, a su puesta en vigencia
