Global trade is undergoing a structural transformation. The tariffs introduced during the Trump administration signaled a decisive break from multilateral trade norms and set the tone for a more fragmented and politicized global economic environment. Meanwhile, China has responded by reinforcing a model of open trade, which departs from traditional free trade frameworks, positioning itself as a key player in next-generation technologies. These themes intersect with the priorities reaffirmed in the 51st anniversary of Brazil-China diplomatic relations, celebrated in August 2025.
