Sommario/riassunto

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 career diplomat whose insights into Chinese economics, politics and energy policies are deep, this book will interest scholars, diplomats, economists and professionals in the oil sector. Pedro Henrique Batista Barbosa, a career diplomat at the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations, completed a PhD in Chinese on the topic of this book.
