Abstract

The paper examines the key changes in Sino-Brazilian economic cooperation under the trade war between Beijing and Washington. The authors pay special attention to the changes in the structure of trade in Brazil and China, as well as the major trends in investment cooperation between the countries. The authors concluded that China had been able to compensate some costs caused by the trade war with the United States by adjusting the structure of trade with Brazil, as well as increasing the number of Chinese investments in the Brazilian economy, thereby offsetting the negative impact of external factors such as the trade war itself and the presidency in Brazil of Jair Bolsonaru.
