Trade between Brazil and China jumped a lot between 2000 and 2005, from US$ 2.3 billion to US$ 12.18 billion. Chinese imports in Brazil grew from US$ 1.22 billion in 2000 to US$ 5.35 billion in 2005.
Meanwhile Brazilian exports to China increased even more, from US$ 1.08 billion in 2000 to US$ 6.83 billion in 2005. In its trade balance with China, Brazil has moved from a deficit of US$ 135.20 million to a surplus of US$ 1.48 billion. Despite the positive trade balance, some Brazilian industrial sectors allege that they are being hurt by Chinese trade competition. This is the case of Brazilian manufacturers of shoes, toys, electro-electronic items, eyeglasses, and machinery to produce plastic products, among other goods. According to Soraya Rosar, coordinator of the Unit of International Negotiations in the National Confederation of Industry, these sectors are already preparing to ask for some kind of protection against Chinese imports. Armando Maziat, secretary of Foreign Trade in Brazil's Ministry of Development, Industry, and Foreign Trade, said that "a large number of sectors have already registered complaints with the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex). "These complaints are being reviewed by the department of trade protection. In many instances the sector changes its approach, preferring an anti-dumping or a general safeguard measure." Maziat commented. In any case, he said, the government will first try to negotiate a voluntary restriction agreement similiar to the one determined for the textile sector. In other industrial sectors, however, negotiations may be far more difficult. "The textile sector is historically controlled, and trade is not free. Maybe that is why the Chinese were willing to talk and reach an agreement. When it comes to other products, the Chinese have always been much more opposed to any type of agreement," Maziat observed. Maziat says that in September, 2005, when the Brazilian government really began to negotiate with China, it presented a document with 17 sectors that were already concerned about the increase of Chinese exports to Brazil. "The Chinese had no interest in talking about the other sectors," the secretary reported. For his part, Paulo Bastos, the vice-president of the Brazil-China Chamber of Economic Development, believes that the Chinese are willing to negotiate. "They say that Brazil is a priority in terms of complementarity, and they don't want to quarrel," he affirms. Bastos points out that the Chinese are mainly interested in commodities like paper, cellulose, alcohol, and soybeans. On the other hand, China wants to export manufactured goods. "The Chamber has been trying to convince them that, if they invest in Brazil, they will have a safer source of supply of the products they need. "And, if they build factories here, their products will be more competitive in the Americas." he says. In his view, "the agreements should begin to build upon these complementarities." Agência Brasil

Brazil received a huge boost in its international image with its selection as the host of the 2016 Olympics, but it was really just the cherry on top of the overall recognition of the country's ascension to the ranks of one of the world's most important countries. Now, as it finally takes its place on the world scene, there has been a great deal of concern about what kind of image Brazil hopes to project, now that the world is really paying attention. 
The only good thing to say about the visit to Brazil of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Monday November 23, is that it was mercifully short and lasted less than 24 hours. Ahmadinejad had his picture taken being hugged by president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who gave him a warm welcome and said Iran had every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. 
The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
