A participação da China na expansão do comércio exterior da região nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the expansion of foreign trade in the Northeast Brazil, as well as the relevance of China in this process, especially for the increase in exports of primary goods produced by the region, which occurs as an effect of the growth of the Chinese economy and your need for commodities. In this way, historical aspects of regional trade will be analyzed, such as its process of opening to foreign trade, the main products that make up its export and import basket, the impacts caused on the trade balance, resulting from this increase in trade flow with China, besides factors that hinder commercial transactions in the region. The analysis will be based on the last two decades, a period in which China reached a prominent level as a buyer in the Northeast Region.
