An official document says the combined value of confirmed Chinese investments in Brazil in the first two months of this year was US$349 million, Macauhub reports.

The news website, citing a newsletter distributed every two months by the Brazilian Ministry of Planning, Development and Management, says the investments were made by Didi Chuxing, which took over Brazilian transport network company 99; by Fosun International Ltd, which bought 80 percent of securities broker Guide Investimentos; and by Dà-Jiāng Innovations, which opened a shop in Rio de Janeiro.

The investments bought the sum invested in Brazil by Chinese between 2003 and February this year to US$54.1 billion, Macauhub quotes the newsletter as saying.
