“The world woke up better today: China and the US must be partners, not rivals,” Leonardo Attuch, founder and CEO of Brazil’s Brasil247 news site, headlined his opinion column on the just concluded Trump-Xi summit today, published in today’s China’s Global Times Brasil247 is one of Brazil’s most-read alternative media sites.
“At a time when wars are multiplying, global institutions are weakening and geopolitical tensions are reshaping international relations, any serious attempt at dialogue between China and the US should be welcomed by all nations—especially those in the Global South.” Attuch hopes that the summit will prove to be “a defining moment when the world’s two largest powers finally began to understand a fundamental truth of the 21st century: Cooperation between Beijing and Washington is not optional; it’s essential…. The alternative is dangerous.”
Noting the importance of both China and the U.S. to Brazil, he stressed that “Brazil does not benefit from a divided world forced into geopolitical camps. Nor do most nations in Latin America, Africa or Asia.
