October 27, 2010 SouthAmerica: Someone on this forum asked me today how influential am I regarding Brazil. Keep in mind of all other major countries including the United States, Japan, India, Russia and the European Union â right now China has the best political relationship with Brazil. By 2013 it is estimated that China would have invested in Brazil over $ 220 billion dollars. I am not surprised â I wrote the plan. You can read various articles on that subject right here: http://brazzilnews.blogspot.com/ ***** Chinese investment soars in Brazil, with eye on resources by Anella Reta Anella Reta AFP â Mon_Oct_25, 2010 SAO PAULO (AFP) â Chinese investment in Brazil is expected to reach 30 billion dollars this year, according to observers -- a sum aimed at securing access to the Latin American nation's oil and other resources. The inflow has been sudden, and dramatic. "Up to the end of last year, the amount of Chinese investment in Brazil was tiny, less than 400 million dollars. Over the first half of 2010, it's gone over 20 billion dollars -- and it should hit 30 billion dollars this year," Charles Tang, head of the Brazil-China Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Sao Paulo, told AFP. Two-thirds of the total coming into Brazil this year will be invested in the oil sector, to which China has privileged access after extending a 10-billion-dollar credit line to Brazil's state-owned Petrobras, and after China's Sinopec bought the Brazilian subsidiary of Spain's Repsol for seven billion dollars. "China is investing everywhere in the world to ensure it gets the strategic resources it needs. And Brazil, obviously, is important," Tang said. In return, Brazil gets "capital for its growth and job-creation," he explained. "China needs the mineral resources, oil and land that Brazil has in abundance," Tang added before predicting that the relationship between the two BRIC economies "has only just begun." In 2009, China became Brazil's top trading partner, overtaking the United States. Bilateral exchanges topped 36 billion dollars last year. This year, they will amount to even more, based on Brazilian central bank figures showing trade reached 35 billion dollars in just the first eight months of this year. Ricardo Anhesini, spokesman for the KPMG consulting firm in Brazil that has helped Chinese companies entering the Latin American nation's market, said there was "a large number of companies interested in selling primary resources, equipment and infrastructure." The cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro drew most of the companies, while others set up in other southern states which also have good transportation systems. The approaching 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil also were spurring Chinese investment. "Several companies are here wanting to address the needs for the Olympics and the World Cup," seeking to profit from Beijing's experience in hosting the Olympic Games in 2008, Tang said. Anhesini said a Chinese delegation was to visit in December to explore investment opportunities in that area. "We're recommending they come as early as possible so they can adapt to the Brazilian way of doing business," he said. KPMG reckons that the interest in supplying the sporting events with equipment will boost Chinese investment in Brazil between 2011 and 2013 to $ 223 billion dollars. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101025/bs_afp/brazilchinaindustrytradeenergy_20101025193548 .

October 27, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Kiwi Trader Your opinion is very important to all of us on this forum since you are from New Zealand. What is the most important economic activity you guys had in your country in the last 100 years? Let me think for a while: A movie was made in your country "The Lord of the Rings". WoW!!!!! By the way, most people can't even locate New Zealand in a map of the world. .
Depend where you live in Brazil and your personal situation, but I can tell you from practical experience Brazil is one of the best places in the world for anyone to live. I have nothing against New Zealand, I just noticed that Kiwi Trader live in New Zealand and he is regular Brazil basher. The insult was geared just to Kiwi Trader.
