China sees major investment opportunities in Brazil\u2019s rail and port infrastructure, but the complexity of the country\u2019s tax system is still viewed as a significant obstacle. Expanding the sector is one of the Brazilian government\u2019s priorities, and officials say they are working to increase legal certainty and unlock private investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The issue was discussed during the panel \u201cLogistics and Infrastructure: Connections Linking Ports, Railways and Chinese Investment in Brazil\u201d at the\u00a0Summit Valor Econ\u00f4mico Brazil-China 2026\u00a0<\/strong>on Wednesday (25) in Shanghai. The event is organized by Valor Econ\u00f4mico in association with the Brazilian Center for International Relations (Cebri) and the Chinese People\u2019s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). The panel was moderated by Valor Executive Editor Z\u00ednia Baeta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe biggest barrier in Brazil is the legal and tax environment, which is highly fragmented,\u201d said Li Sisheng, executive vice president of Power China International. In his view, that helps explain why some foreign companies have struggled with investments in the country. He noted, however, that the company has $4 billion invested in Brazil and is studying projects in highways, railways, and energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Leonardo Ribeiro, rail transport secretary at Brazil\u2019s Transport Ministry, said the government wants to raise railways\u2019 share of the country\u2019s transport matrix from 20% to 35%. According to Ribeiro, Brazil\u2019s Railway Legal Framework now provides laws, regulations, and standardized contracts that ensure legal certainty for investment in the sector. \u201cWe also have strategies to provide guarantees so these projects can move forward under a risk-sharing structure in which the government will share with the private sector any extreme situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ding Songbing, general manager and head of strategy and research at Shanghai International Port, said there is ample room for the development and modernization of Brazilian ports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cShips are getting larger, and ports need to adapt,\u201d he said. In his view, climate adaptation as well as automation and digitalization of processes are two other areas with strong potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Zhang Jianyu, deputy secretary-general and chief development director of the Belt and Road International Green Development Alliance, said China and Chinese stock exchanges have been tightening environmental requirements for companies, and those rules also apply to their operations abroad. \u201cIf a Chinese company does not have good sustainability results in the Brazilian market, for example, it will face difficulties raising capital here in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The \u201cSummit Valor Econ\u00f4mico Brazil-China 2026\u201d is the third event of its kind organized by the newspaper in China since 2024. This edition is sponsored by BYD, the Rio city government through Invest.Rio, Embratur, the Rio de Janeiro state government, and ApexBrasil, with support from the S\u00e3o Paulo city government and S\u00e3o Paulo Neg\u00f3cios, Suzano, CBMM, Alibaba, the World Resources Institute, the Climate and Society Institute (iCS), CNA Senar, and the National Confederation of Industry (CNI).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The newspaper does not cover expenses when public officials invited to take part in the discussions attend the event.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
