Xi says China, Brazil can model 'self-reliance' for Global South

CHINAS President Xi Jinping told his Brazilian counterpart yesterday the two countries could set an example of “self-reliance” for emerging powers, as trade and geopolitical challenges mount.

The two leaders have both sought in recent months to present their countries as staunch defenders of the multilateral trading system — in stark contrast with US President Donald Trump’s tariff onslaught.

Xi's call with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva yesterday came just hours after Trump announced another 90-day pause to blistering tariffs on China.

It also followed indications from Lula last week he planned to speak with the leaders of India and China to consider a coordinated response to US trade measures.

Xi told Lula that ties between China and Brazil are now at an all-time high, according to state news agency Xinhua.
