Genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping held extensive, fruitful meetings with socialist Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Wednesday that concluded with the countries agreeing to elevate their diplomatic ties to that of “Community for a Shared Brazil-China Future for a More Just World and More Sustainable Planet.”

The two leaders agreed to expand the scope of their cooperation as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global infrastructure plan in which China offers predatory loans to poor countries to be used to fund cost-prohibitive infrastructure projects. When the countries cannot pay the loans back, China uses the opportunity to seize the projects themselves or otherwise compromise the sovereignty of the country in question, as has happened to Sri Lanka and Zambia... China also exploits BRI projects to gather intelligence in targeted countries.
Lula, a radical leftist, has invested heavily in expanding China’s influence in his country since his first term in office began in 2003. In addition to joining the BRI, Lula helped found the BRICS coalition, an anti-American group initially consisting of China and Brazil alongside Russia, India, and South Africa. Lula served his first two terms from 2003 to 2011 and was repeatedly convicted on corruption charges related to a massive infrastructure fraud scheme known as “Operation Car Wash.” He won the 2022 presidential election after Brazil’s top court overturned his prison sentences on procedural grounds.

America could have had their trading bloc, if it hadn’t been for Democrats.
China? Sustainable planet? How many coal-fired power plants are they building per year? Speak louder, I can’t hear ya, China.

Yes, but this is communist coal consumption so it does not count.
Enviros think it is our responsibility to deindustrialize to offset China’s emissions. This is social justice.
Obama’s handiwork again.
Biden was asleep at the wheel while Chyna moved in on S. America.
Heard someone interviewed a couple of years ago who said all over the world small and medium companies were being offered loans by China, then the loans had to be called in and the Chinese took over.
During the early Covid spread from Wuhan by China, they reported various New York and other East coast places for the new Covid, “and regions of Italy.” Why? The Italian textile companies by the dozens were all taken over by China and the local Italian workers and leaders were replaced by Chinese. The Chinese going in and out brought the Covid to infect the people.
The Kyoto Treaty gave a pass to China and other communist dictators. The worst polluters. AGW - climate change is a political scam. Not science. $$$
And they’re burning our coal.
Interesting. Early COVID outbreak maps showed the Med as being a Hotspot.
I got it in Israel on Oct. 2019.
Glad you made it.

1000% tariff on Brazil. Problem solved. Next?
China has a history of abandoning big projects all over the world. I’ve seen it in South America.
The New Silk Road reaches to Southern South America!
China is the worst offender on coal, and Brazil is clearcutting the Amazon rainforest. It is a natural alliance. They will probably hire Greta Thunberg as a spokesperson to travel the world on private flights, condemning the U.S. for environmental sins.
Because the best defense is a good offense — and the media will have its smokescreen and script for the narrative.
Can you share some of that, please? They were taught by the best implementers of world wide strategic control, what you recognize as abandoning big projects might be laying low for a while.
Another huge success for the Deepstate and Democrat party.
