ResumoThis chapter explores China's relationship with Brazil and the growth of China's political influence in Brazil that stems from an increase in Chinese capital in the Brazilian economy in particular the expansion of Chinese capital in the Brazilian electricity sector that has direct political consequences relating to the powerful increase of its influence over the Brazilian economy and its prestige within and ascendancy over the Brazilian government. China overtook the United States as Brazil's main trading partner. China promotes the geopolitics of global connection through the implementation of infrastructure in order to increase the viability and fulfillment of its own domestic demands, such as food, energy sources, and strategic natural resources. The authors conclude by pointing out that Chinese investments in the Brazilian electric power market are a key component in the process of China's growing influence over the economy and politics of its main partner in Latin America.
