Brazilian journalists tell China's story after visits

Journalists often have a strong sense of curiosity. Such is the case with Helio Rocha, a political analyst at online news portal Brasil 247 and social rights and environment reporter at the magazine Plurale.

"As China began to make deals with Brazil and help this country's economy become profitable, I became interested in China and its international projects like the Belt and Road Initiative," Rocha said.

This year he had the opportunity from April to August to spend four and a half months in China to learn about its culture, economy, politics, history and philosophy at Beijing Foreign Studies University.
