Relações bilaterais China-Brasil no setor petroleiro: investimento, comércio e diplomacia à luz da Cooperação Sul-Sul no século XXI

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the Chinese stance in bilateral relations with Brazil in the energy field, based on its presence in the oil sector. Sino-Brazilian bilateral relations in the 21st century have, year after year, intensified in the most diverse areas - especially in energy, due to guidelines for greater global performance. Such adjustments revolve around promoting China's global and multilateral insertion, such as the “Going Global” policy of internationalization of Chinese companies, in addition to the search for natural resources, in view of its large industrial production. The year 2008 was a milestone in Chinese international operations, from which there was a greater diversification of partnerships, to the detriment of traditional partners. Thus, considering that South-South Cooperation presents itself as a possibility of diversification compared to the traditional institutions of the international system, allowing the countries of

the South to take part in projects of mutual interest, the aim is to understand whether Sino- Brazilian relations in this sector they serve the basis of this type of cooperation, as the Asian

country has developed a specific international posture in its relations in the oil sector.
