Content of Eduardo Bolsonaro’s Post Mentions Symbolic Adherence of the Country to the Clean Network
The content of Eduardo Bolsonaro’s message to Petrobras’ Chinese partners referenced the country’s symbolic adherence to the Clean Network, which is a diplomatic initiative by the government of former President Donald Trump, aimed at curbing the advancement of Chinese companies that also invest in Petrobras within the global 5G market. Eduardo Bolsonaro celebrates the fact as a sign of Brazil’s distancing from China’s 5G technology.
“The Jair Bolsonaro government declared full support for the Clean Network alliance, launched by Donald Trump’s government, thereby creating a global alliance for a safer 5G, free from Chinese espionage,” wrote Eduardo Bolsonaro on November 23, Monday. He also listed the Chinese Communist Party as a “hostile organization and enemy of freedom.”
