The Chinese refused, however, to permit Brazilians to hire Chinese as

2000-present
In the 21st century Brazilian businessmen have been somewhat frustrated by what the ''Financial Times'' have described as a slow pace of development for some aspects of the relationship. For example, Brazil officially recognised China as a market economy in 2004 but by 2009 the corresponding changes to the trading arrangements had not been implemented.
However agreement had been reached on a wide range of issues, and an outstanding personal relationship had been established between the two nation's leaders. In 2010 the
second BRIC summit was held in Brazil, with proposals made for increased cooperation between Brazil and China on political and trade related issues as well as energy, mining, financial services and agriculture.
In 2004, Brazil and China established the China-Brazil High-Level Commission for Coordination and Cooperation (COSBAN).
COSBAN serves as the primary mechanism for high-level dialogue between the two countries, and COSBAN's dialogues have often focused on energy and climate change action.
