The relationship between China and Brazil traces back over two centuries, beginning in 1812 when Chinese tea cultivators arrived in Brazil. Under Portuguese rule, these cultivators sought to establish tea production in the South American nation.
Although the tea initiative was short-lived, it planted the seeds of a lasting connection between the two countries. This early exchange marked the start of enduring ties that have evolved significantly over time.
Today, the evolution of Chinese-Brazilian relations continues to unfold, with both nations collaborating across various sectors, building on their historical links to forge modern partnerships.
