NEGÓCIO DA CHINA
[Good deal, business or transaction with a lot of profit.]

- They always propose good deals with 30% profitability per annum.
China is the fastest growing economy in the world. Brazil’s exports to China jumped from $676 million in 1999 to $5.4 billion in 2004. Imports also increased, but trade mainly involves swapping commodities for more sophisticated products.
Cf. Comércio Exterior: Como se diz “conhecimento”?
Nearly 60% of Brazil’s exports to China are primary goods, largely soya and iron ore. Imports from China are more varied and include electronics, machines, chemicals, textiles, shoes and toys. In 2007 China became the second largest supplier of goods to Brazil, a position previously held by Argentina.
