However, China's growing influence is not without its risks. As countries like Brazil increasingly depend on exports to China, there are concerns about the fragility of their economies. Brazil's trade ties with China illustrate this precarious relationship; a significant portion of Brazilian exports goes to China, while China's imports from Brazil are not as proportional. This creates a situation where China could potentially pivot away from Brazilian goods, leaving the Brazilian economy vulnerable.
