ABSTRACT
The present study aims to analyze the growing Sino-Brazilian trade relationship and how China has contributed to the commodity price boom in the recent period. Throughout the article, it was possible to identify that the export and import agenda between countries differs in terms of number of products and technological intensity, so that imported products are capital intensive, while exported products are predominantly commodities. The text is divided into two main sections, firstly addressing the literature review on the commodities boom and highlighting the “China effect”. The second section analyzes trade between the countries, so that the trade relationship has followed an increasing trajectory since 2003. As of 2009, China has become Brazil’s main trading partner, surpassing historical partners such as the United States and Argentina.
