Brazil's Belo Monte project is a representative of China's unique UHV power transmission technology going global, but it has been slandered by some Western media as impure motives and neo-colonialism. Brazilian power expert Paulo Esmeraldo refuted this false accusation in an interview, bluntly saying that Chinese investment is of great importance to Brazil. Companies such as China State Grid have been promoting Brazil’s technological progress and investing a lot in Brazil’s infrastructure construction. The world needs to know the importance of these investments.

The second phase of the power transmission project of the Belo Monte hydropower station was officially started in September 2017, with a total length of more than 2,500 kilometers, passing through 5 states and 81 cities in Brazil from north to south. The line is an important practice in building a China-Pakistan community of shared future and jointly building the Belt and Road with Brazil. Along the project line, China has built and repaired nearly 2,000 kilometers of roads and 350 bridges, implemented more than 20 social responsibility projects, donated special materials for malaria prevention and control to residents of 33 cities along the line, and vigorously promoted technical exchanges and personnel exchanges between the two countries.

Today, the second phase of the Belo Monte UHV power transmission project has been put into operation, continuously transporting clean water power from the north of Brazil to the southeast, and creating an electric highway for Brazil. 22 million Brazilians have benefited from this project, which is equivalent to the total population 10% of.
