China and Brazil are strengthening their collaboration through technological innovation. They are negotiating a memorandum of understanding to bring a Chinese satellite company to Brazil, reported The Rio Times. An expert told the Global Times on Thursday that this move aims to enhance the competitiveness of China's commercial satellite sector. Additionally, Brazil is offering the use of a military space base in its northeast to a Chinese company to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. This development follows a recent feud between Brazil and Musk over his social media platform X.
