Synopsis: This book explores how China-Brazil relations have been impacted by the oil-related bilateral trade, investments, infrastructure projects and financing – an increasingly consequential aspect of Sino-Brazilian relations, which sheds light on China's energy security concerns and its relationship with oil-rich countries more generally. This book depicts in detail how China’s quest for petroleum has been helping Brazil become an oil power. Written by a Brazilian career diplomat that completed a PhD in Mandarin on the topic of this publication and whose insights into Chinese economics, politics and energy policies are deep, this book will interest scholars, diplomats, economists and professionals in the oil sector.
