10/Brazil refused to join the 'New Silk Road' project, thus avoiding calls of 'automatic alignment', but the Foreign Service negotiated other deals with the Chinese that can really be helpful in the much-needed Brazilian green transition.

9/Other documents are also interesting, but the overall direction of Industrial Policy and Green Transition cooperation is given on the ones mentioned above.
A lot of vagueness (as always with diplomatic documents), but this shows the Brazilian pragmatism in Foreign Policy...

8/Doc27 (MoU) activates the two Finance Ministries (important!) with the same research good intentions of Doc23. One important point of note is the emphasis on 'technological exchanges'.
Technology transfer is usually a sore spot, so this is encouraging...

7/Doc23 is a Letter of Intent dealing with decarbonization under the PAC infrastructure program. Another wink to the large investments on solar coming from the program, and also matters of transport infrastructure...
Biofuels also important here and lots of good intentions on research cooperation.

6/Doc14 is on nuclear technology basically focusing on radiopharmaceuticals and isotopes for agriculture (soil diagnosis). Nothing about energy directly and (of course) nothing military.

5/Doc13 is a MoU on solar panels and is very vague. Judging from the current context, I can envision this being a cooperation mostly on import facilitation (from CN) and development of service jobs on the installation, maintenance & tech adaptation... Brazil is stickier on Wind than solar.

4/Document 5 is a 'term facility agreement' between the behemoths BNDES and CDB (development banks) to the order of around 700 million USD.
BNDES has been and still is the main executor of Brazilian industrial policies and this is an important sum especially in times of fiscal constraints.

3/Focuses on 'synergies' in 5 main areas: financial cooperation, infrastructure development, high-tech production chains (AI, energy, health, aerospace), ecological transformation, and strategic technology transfer and innovation.
This could be a sign that more BYD-style FDI is in the works?
