China is on track to become Brazil’s No. 1 investor in 2010, with Chinese investment in Brazil topping $20 billion in the first half of this year
Just past a port where workers are building a two-mile-long pier to accommodate huge vessels known as Chinamaxes that will transport iron ore for China’s ravenous steel industry, past berths for tankers to lug oil to Beijing, a city of factories is sprouting on an island almost twice the size of Manhattan. Many of the structures will be built with Chinese investment: a steel mill, a shipyard, an automobile plant, a factory to manufacture oil and gas equipment.
“They do not want to be perceived as just natural-resource eaters,” said Eike Batista, the Brazilian billionaire behind the port project and one of the world’s richest men. “To them, it’s common sense.”
Starting last year, China became Brazil’s biggest trading partner, replacing the United States.
” ‘New colonialists’ is how we refer to China now,” said Roberto Giannetti da Fonseca, who represents manufacturers in Latin America’s industrial heartland of Sao Paulo.
Among those tools is the way China cuts deals — in Latin America and elsewhere. China is a master at low-ball financing, fashioning loans of billions of dollars at tiny interest rates that can stretch beyond 20 years. Financing, a seemingly arcane matter, can often account for 40 percent of the cost of a project.
China’s Wuhan Iron and Steel bought a 21 percent stake in one of Batista’s companies for $400 million, using below-market-rate loans provided by China’s state banks. The steel company is also planning a $5 billion investment to build a mill at the Acu port, with Chinese state financing at attractive rates. China’s oil and gas companies are talking with Batista about selling oil rigs and platforms to service Batista’s offshore drilling operation — again with low-interest loans.
There was talk that Brazil would train Chinese pilots on its aircraft carrier. Pundits proclaimed a new Brasilia-Beijing axis. The pair formed half of the BRICs — the four nations, including Russia and India, that were considered the new leaders of the global economy.

Eike afirmou que vai buscar financiamento do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) e ressaltou que a composição acionária da nova empresa será majoritariamente brasileira.
A produção inicial será de 100 mil veículos, totalmente movidos por baterias elétricas, com tecnologia japonesa e europeia. Eike estimou que, há espaço no mercado brasileiro para uma nova fábrica de veículos.
