Abstract

After becoming Brazil's main trading partner in 2009, China began to play a fundamental role in the entry of investments into strategic sectors of the Brazilian economy. During the years 2000 to 2022, FDI stock reached US$ 79 billion, with a predominance in oil and gas (37%) and electric energy (33%). Given this situation, the objective of the article was to understand the intensification of Sino-Brazilian investment relations, taking as a basis the broader internationalization strategies of the Chinese capital. The study identified a greater concentration in the energy sectors, which, on the one hand, derives not only from the Chinese search for such resources around the world, but also from characteristics of Brazil in the period studied and, on the other, implies different forms of participation of Chinese capital in the country, whether through mergers and acquisitions in the electricity sector or oil and gas exploration concessions.
