The fact is that, through-out the years, a lot of communication between Brazil and China was mediated by others. We have to gain a direct perspective on one an-other and not just hear about the other through the developed countries' press systems. Today, we have to establish more direct contact.
The increase in the number of Confucius in-stitutes in Brazil has been huge, with Brazilian students eager to learn standard Chinese. And Chinese culture in itself has always been attrac-tive. The extraordinary development of China in recent years has also led these young Brazilians to spot either new career prospects related to the country or simply find a new place where they might gain something valuable for their own knowledge. |
