The result? A financing promise of R$26,4 billion for infrastructure projects in Brazil, with a large part destined for the reconstruction of Rio Grande do Sul, according to the newspaper Correio Brasiliense.

This capital injection is divided into several sectors, reflecting the breadth of Chinese interests in Brazilian territory. The Asian Investment and Infrastructure Bank (AIIB) will allocate R$5 billion for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, specifically for recovery and development initiatives.
We also pack any another R$4 billion will be made available by the China Development Bank to the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), focusing on projects aimed at combating climate change.
According to the newspaper Mail Braziliense, Geraldo Alckmin highlighted the importance of this partnership as a driver for creating jobs and improving the income of Brazilians. According to him, the robust trade relationship between Brazil and China not only strengthens the economy, but also promotes the opening of markets essential for national growth.
“We have two tasks: opening the market and attracting investment. We defend free trade and seek to conquer markets, just as we defend multilateralism and trade agreements”, stated Alckmin, highlighting that Mercosur, which was previously isolated, is now expanding its horizons.
We also pack any Brazilian trade defense was also a prominent topic in the conversations. Alckmin clarified that this defense is not about protectionism, but a necessary process to protect national interests based on the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
“If a sector of the Brazilian economy makes a complaint, it is the government’s duty to investigate,” he added, emphasizing the importance of clear and fair rules.
Chinese President Xi Jinping reinforced the importance of the bilateral relationship, describing Brazil and China as 'partners and brothers' who share a common vision for the future.
With the celebration of 200 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Jinping highlighted that this relationship transcends the bilateral scope and serves as an example to promote cooperation between developing countries and global stability.
Union of China and Brazil
For experts, this partnership is not just a question of financing; It is a clear sign that China sees Brazil as a strategic partner for the future.
Chinese investments in Brazil have grown significantly in recent years, ranging from the energy sector to transport infrastructure.
These investments not only help modernize the country's infrastructure, but also boost job creation and technological development. In other words, in times of global uncertainty, this alliance could represent a turning point for the Brazilian economy.
Development opportunity
The promise of R$26,4 billion in financing is more than a number; It is an opportunity for Brazil to reposition itself on the global stage, strengthening its infrastructure and expanding its growth potential, say experts.
In this sense, they assess that the Sino-Brazilian partnership, therefore, is not limited to numbers and agreements, but reflects a mutual commitment to development and stability.
Great friendships, great progress. Brazil and China are friends and companions who intend to walk together, hand in hand, contributing to each other. Brazil has products to supply to China, products that are even new to many Chinese, just as China has great new products to supply to Brazil. In addition to this commitment to a commercial partnership with China, there are reasons for us Brazilians to feel grateful, because before this partnership, Brazil was behind in scientific and technological innovations. The Brazil-China partnership not only favored Brazil in this area, but has encouraged it to continue exploring resources for great scientific and technological development. China has been an exemplary mirror for the world, and Brazil is taking advantage of this and transforming itself into a country of innovation in research in the area of science and technology, thanks to this Brazil-China partnership.
