China's increased investment eases transition to clean energy in Brazil

Chinese investment in Brazil has grown significantly in recent years as bilateral relations have deepened.

China's presence is especially felt in Brazil's energy and infrastructure sectors. A recent analysis by Brazilian digital media outlet Poder360 estimated such investment from Chinese enterprises alone has exceeded $51 billion.

Earlier this year, State Grid Corp of China won a 30-year franchise agreement to build a 1,500-kilometer transmission line in northeast Brazil.
