Brazil and China Advance in Military Cooperation After Lula’s Decision and Dialogue with Xi Jinping. Celso Amorim Confirms Sending Generals to Beijing and Highlights New Phase of Strategic Partnership.

During an official visit to Beijing, the special advisor to the Presidency, Celso Amorim, stated that Brazil is open to military cooperation with China. The statement was made during celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific, at a parade that gathered international authorities.

According to Amorim, the decision reinforces a new stage of the bilateral relationship and marks an unprecedented presence of the Brazilian Armed Forces in Chinese territory. Until now, only the embassy in Washington hosted high-ranking officers.

Lula Authorizes Sending Officials to Beijing

Decree No. 12.480, signed in June 2025 by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), established the assignment of three military attachés in China. The measure encompasses a general officer from the Army, a rear admiral from the Navy, and a colonel from the Air Force.

Xi Jinping Receives Direct Message from Lula

On the agenda in Beijing, Amorim delivered a letter from Lula to President Xi Jinping. The document addressed central themes of current geopolitics, such as the tariff imposed by the United States, the war in Ukraine, the crisis in Gaza, and the Chinese proposal for global governance, considered by Amorim as “music to our ears.”

The advisor also met with Chancellor Wang Yi, reinforcing that military partnership is part of a broader context of strategic rapprochement between the two countries.

For Celso Amorim, the strengthening of military cooperation occurs at a time of growing geopolitical tensions. He highlighted that the weakening of the multilateral system led by the United States increases the need for new alignments.

“The movement of warships, including submarines with nuclear capability, is concerning,” he stated, referring to American military movements off the coast of Venezuela. In this context, cooperation with China emerges as a strategic counterbalance and an opportunity to reinforce the autonomy of South America.

Military Cooperation Beyond Trade and Investments

Amorim emphasized that the partnership between Brazil and China is not limited to trade — in which Beijing is already Brazil’s main partner. The advisor recalled that investments in productive sectors, financial cooperation, and technology transfer projects are underway, now accompanied by a more robust military dimension.

The presence of Brazilian generals in Beijing indicates, according to Amorim, that this cooperation can expand even further. “This also indicates the possibility of cooperation in other areas,” he stated.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

Two African countries will inaugurate in 4 days an 825-meter bridge suspended 90 meters high over a reservoir — it is the largest of three bridges of a megaproject that will supply millions of people.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

13th best city in Brazil: with an HDI of 0.817, 100% of sewage treated, and a GDP per capita of R$ 192 thousand, a municipality in the interior of SP surprises with its high quality of life

A 95-year-old bridge over the Columbia River could collapse at any moment — the cargo ships passing underneath have doubled in size since it was built, and the main pier has never received protection.

Psychology demystifies the idea that children of the 60s and 70s were stronger: studies indicate high rates of emotional neglect, up to 70% without affectionate dialogue, forced early autonomy, and psychological impacts that persist for decades.

East Africa is at a critical breaking point: the crust is only 13 km thick, plates are moving apart millimeters per year, tension accumulated over millions of years accelerates fractures and could pave the way for the Indian Ocean to split the continent.

Mining company Vale is betting heavily in Maranhão with a green iron megaproject and could influence Brazilian exports by creating a strategic sustainable steel hub for Europe.
