Brazilian President Lula visited China from April 12th to 15th. Eight cabinets including Treasury Secretary, Foreign Minister, and Environment Minister, five governors and hundreds of enterprises in poor states in Northeast China.The mighty behavior is three purposes. One is to enhance the economic and trade relations between China and Pakistan, the other is to combine China to mediate the Russian and Ukraine War, and the third is to jointly create a new geopolitical order.
China has become Brazil's largest trading partner in 2009, but only concentrated in a few of soybean, beef, iron ore, and other a few items. China has investment in Brazil.There is a lot of room for improvement.
Lula is also ambitious in diplomacy.When he served as the president from 2003 to 2010, he had always held himself with the spokesperson of the "Global Southern Country", fully promoted the multi -pole world order, and settled the Iran nuclear crisis.Although the mediation of the Iran nuclear crisis was unsuccessful, Lula was still interesting.He believes that when Brazil had previously served as president in Bosanaro, who was populous, he was almost self -contained in the international community. Now he wants to lead Brazil out of the mountain again.
After Lula came out of the mountain, the first was to mediate the Russian and Ukraine War.Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov will also visit Brazil next month.The second is to fight for Brazil to become a permanent member of the Security Council.In February, Biden also agreed to promote the renovation of the United Nations so that Latin America and Africa could have a seat of a permanent member of the Security Council.The third is to go to the US dollar.Therefore, Brazil and China have conducted local currency transactions, and Argentina have intended to launch South American dollars, and also proposed to launch BRICS currency in the BRICS Five Kingdoms.
But these visions probably can't do it.Taking the mediation of the Russian and Ukraine War as an example, Brazil did not affect the strength of Russia and Ukraine at all.Last year, Mexico proposed a peace plan and was hit by the phrase "this is a Russian plan" by the Ukraine.Now Brazil wants to mediate, but how can she believe in Ukraine to believe her neutrality with Russia?As for the status of the US dollar, with the economic strength of Brazil and the reality of international politics, it is a distant dream.
Striving to become a permanent member of the country and changing the pattern of international governance may have the opportunity with the support of the United States and China.But to join forces with China to create a new international order that is sufficient to challenge the United States, Brazil has no strength.Luolla had just visited the White House in the first two months of visiting China, so Brazil's diplomacy maintained a balance between China and the United States.This was interviewed by Lula to Huawei, which was sanctioned by the United States. The Brazilian foreign minister quickly issued a statement saying that it was not provocative to the United States, so it could be clearly seen.
However, Brazil is not completely without diplomatic chips at all, because the status of the entire Latin America in the international economy is increasing because of worshiping green metal.Latin America has 60%of the world's lithium reserves, mainly concentrated in the "lithium triangle" surrounded by Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia.Peru and Chile are the two largest countries that produce copper, while Brazil has 17%of the world's nickel reserves.These are the core materials for developing new energy batteries.
China has the earliest layout in these countries and has the deepest relationship.The United States and Europe rushed to catch up.German Prime Minister Tsurtz went to Argentina, Chile, and Brazil in January this year.Shuerz was the first foreign leader to visit after his inauguration, and the first German Prime Minister to visit Chile in 10 years.He went to strive for green energy and emphasized that Germany's cooperation plans are more in line with sustainable standards than other countries, and also create more employment opportunities for the local area.When countries compete for Latin America, Latin America has more choices, and the United States has become more and more powerful in control over Latin America.
Therefore, although Lula's dream is empty, Latin America's status is increasing, but it is a trend we must master.
