Resumo
O Presidente Xi Jinping propôs pela primeira vez o conceito de «um novo tipo de relações internacionais pautado pela cooperação e benefício mútuo» durante a sua intervenção no Instituto Estatal de Relações Internacionais de Moscovo, em março de 2013. Desde então, a China tem enriquecido continuamente a conceção deste novo tipo de relações internacionais, diversificando os seus instrumentos e abordagens diplomáticas. Entre essas abordagens, o desenvolvimento de parcerias globais destaca-se como uma das vias fundamentais para a promoção desse novo paradigma de relações internacionais. Até dezembro de 2024, a China havia estabelecido diferentes tipos de parcerias com 145 países em todo o mundo. No âmbito da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP), todos os nove Estados-membros formalizaram parcerias com a China. No entanto, os tipos dessas parcerias, bem como o grau de aprofundamento, fortalecimento e evolução subsequente, variam significativamente entre os Estados-membros. Assim, este artigo propõe a seguinte pergunta de investigação central: que papel desempenham as parcerias da China com os países de língua portuguesa na configuração das trocas bilaterais? Adotando uma abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, o estudo analisa documentos e relatórios oficiais — como declarações conjuntas e comunicados de imprensa governamentais — para argumentar que essas parcerias continuam a constituir enquadramentos diplomáticos essenciais no envolvimento da China com os países lusófonos.
