    Maybe, just maybe, Brazil shouldn’t keep chopping down rainforest to extract iron/oil and grow soybean/chicken/cow? Brazil needs to rapidly industrialized their economy because resource exploitation is clearly unsustainable.

    Recently, Chinese companies have started to rapidly expand their Brazilian manufacturing footprint, but it’s not enough.

      expand their Brazilian manufacturing footprint

      Wouldn’t the low cost raw material extracted from the forests be a factor responsible for this?
