Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira has strongly denied the allegations made by a US Congressional report which suggested the presence of Chinese military installations, including two bases in Brazil, within a supposed network of Chinese space facilities in Latin America. Vieira emphasized that there is no evidence or operation involving China with military or intelligence objectives in Brazilian territory, calling the report's conclusions speculative and distorted.

In his remarks, Vieira stated that there is no Chinese station, antenna, operation, military partnership, or any evidence supporting the assumptions laid out in the report. He articulated concerns over the misleading nature of the claims, attributing the allegations to distorted information pulled from the internet and a geopolitical bias that misreads the relationship between Brazil and China.

This denial highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions and the Brazilian government's desire to maintain its sovereignty and independence in foreign affairs. By addressing these allegations, Vieira aims to reassure both domestic and international audiences about Brazil's strategic partnerships and its stance against foreign military presence in the region, while also safeguarding economic ties with China, a significant trading partner for Brazil.
