Genocide Chinese dictator Xi Jinping held a large and fruitful meeting with socialist Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday. concluded The two countries agreed to enhance their diplomatic relations to a “Brazil-China community for a shared future towards a more just world and a more sustainable planet.”
According to a Brazilian newspaper, this promotion was part of the signing of 37 different agreements Oh Globo reportedwhich spans “agricultural products, educational exchanges, and technical cooperation in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, industry, energy, mining, finance, communications, sustainable development, tourism, sports, health, and culture.”
The two leaders agreed that China will expand the scope of cooperation as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The Belt and Road Initiative is a global infrastructure initiative in which China provides predatory loans to poor countries to finance cost-prohibitive infrastructure projects. If a country is unable to repay its loans, China can use the opportunity to seize the project itself or violate that country's sovereignty, as happened in Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka. Zambia. According to some reports, China is using the Belt and Road project to gather information on target countries.
Mr. Lula, a radical leftist, has invested heavily in expanding China's influence in his country since his first term in power in 2003. In addition to participating in Belt and Road, Mr. Lula also helped create the BRICS coalition, an anti-American group initially made up of China and China. Brazil ranks alongside Russia, India and South Africa. Mr. Lula served his first two terms, from 2003 to 2011, and was repeatedly convicted on corruption charges related to a massive infrastructure fraud scheme known as “Operation Car Wash.” He won the 2022 presidential election after Brazil's Supreme Court overturned his prison sentence on procedural grounds.
“Chinese companies are bidding on infrastructure projects and are also partners in projects such as building hydroelectric facilities and railways. This means jobs, income and sustainability for Brazil,” Lula said. declared He spoke alongside Mr. Xi on Wednesday. “Brazilian industries, such as WEG, Suzano and Landon, are also expanding their presence in China. At the same time, agribusiness continues to ensure China's food security. Since 2017, Brazil has become China's largest food producer. It is a supplier country.”
Xi declared He said relations between Brazil and China were “the best in history” and praised the two countries' “outstanding contributions to world peace and stability.” Indeed, Beijing is a major promoter of some of the world's most nefarious rogue regimes, including Iran, North Korea, and Cuba, and Brazil under Lula has vocally opposed sanctions and other actions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Brazil and China have banded together to pressure Ukraine to accept favorable terms for Russia in exchange for an end to its aggression, a move Lula praised in a congratulatory speech.
“China and Brazil prioritize peace, diplomacy and dialogue. Our common understanding on the Ukraine crisis is an example of our convergence on international security issues.”
Mr. Xi chose to emphasize Brazil's support for China's “core interests,” including the expansion of the Belt and Road Initiative and China's false claims that Taiwan is a rebel province.
“President Xi called on the two countries to firmly support each other on issues related to core interests such as sovereignty, security and territorial integrity,” state media said. Global Times reported“Becoming strategic partners of mutual trust and setting a good example of solidarity, cooperation, mutual benefit and common development among countries of the Global South.''
“Global South” is a term typically used to refer to the world's poorer and developing countries. China is the world's second-largest economy and considers itself a leader in the Global South, despite being located in the Northern Hemisphere.
The official regulations are declaration The paper on strengthening bilateral relations does mention China's false claims to Taiwan.
“The Brazilian side reiterated that it adheres to the one-China principle and recognizes that there is only one China in the world and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory,” the statement read. are. China is the only legitimate government representing all of China. ”
“Brazil supports China's efforts to achieve peaceful national reunification. The Chinese side expressed its great gratitude in this regard,” it added.
The declaration also lists “finance, infrastructure, supply chain development, investment, ecological transformation, science, technology and innovation” as areas for cooperation.
Mr. Xi is currently conclusion During his trip to South America, which began in Peru, he helped open an unfinished deep-water port with President Dina Bolarte and attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group's annual support event. He then traveled to Rio de Janeiro to attend the G20 Summit and ended his trip with a stop in Brasilia for an official visit to Brazil.
The Chinese dictator had an overwhelming presence at both the APEC summit and the G20, especially in the absence of meaningful US leadership. Outgoing President Joe Biden attended both summits but had little impact, appearing to be routinely ignored or sidelined by other participants. Nevertheless, the G20 has become a site of significant friction, local reports showed, as diplomats from many countries navigated concerns about President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House. The summit's final joint statement avoided specific commitments on many important issues, choosing instead to call generally for an end to hunger and war.
