    Brazilian lawmakers trip to China triggers strong controversy among Bolsonaro's bunker

    Bolsonaro has accused China of wanting to “buy Brazil” by taking control of strategic companies, raising friction with Beijing but alarming his economic team.

    A trip to China by lawmakers from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's party has stirred anger in the far-right leader's entourage, partly because of his wariness of the Asian power but also because of the group's stated mission. The delegation of eight members of Bolsonaro's ultraconservative Social Liberal Party (PSL) said it was on the visit to check out Chinese facial-recognition technology, with a view to it maybe being used in Brazil to combat crime.
