Brazil and China have, in recent years, greatly increased their trade relation with each other. This in turn could possibly lead to other aspects of their relations to increase such as miltary aspects. We can see that eventhough thier relations have at times been on the rocks, they have time and time again solved those issues. The reason for their continuous relation can be due to their increase dependencies on trade with each other, especially in Brazil's case. This increase in relations between China and Brazil has also lead to an increase in US interest within the South American region.
