Segue o resumo do capítulo:

Chinese State Grid is considered the largest energy company in the world. Since 2005 it has expanded its operations in Brazil through State Grid Brazil Holding (SGBH). In the first half of 2019, this company constructed the second section of the transmission line linked to the Belo Monte Hydroelectric dam and power plant, called Xingu-Rio. This section passes through 81 municipalities in 5 different Brazilian states, crossing the Amazon, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest biomes. Given this context, the objective of this chapter is to develop an analysis of the performance of SGBH in the Xingu-Rio transmission line with a mapping of socioeconomic, environmental, and technological issues. This study analyzes journalistic material, government documents, company and NGO reports, and interviews. The findings presented indicate that the Chinese presence intensified in order to support the investments of the Brazilian government, particularly during the presidential administration of Dilma Rousseff, and since.
