Think you know about the world powers? Think again. Nope, not the United States, Russia, Great Britain or China: it’s Brazil. Brazil flies under the radar making its newest endeavor by creating technology agreements with China as co-owners to a Center for Innovative Technologies, Climate Change, and Energy.

China continues to hold its standing as a power to be reckoned with as Brazil continues to move up in the world. Brazil maintains numerous agreements with China to expand economic relations and to enhance their expertise in energy research.

The more that Brazil enhances their image of becoming a world power, the more other countries need to keep a watchful eye out for further enhancements to the country’s growth. Just as the United States co-existed under Great Britain, a world power at the time, and succeeded in seceding from Britain to become its own world power, Brazil chooses to learn from one of the most technologically savvy nations in the world, China.

Like an apprentice, waiting for their chance to challenge their master, Brazil sits in wait for itschance to shine. The question remains; will it be victorious?
