Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) unanimously upheld on Monday (Nov. 24) former President Jair Bolsonaro's effective detention after tampering with the tracking device he had to wear as part of the house arrest he had been granted following his 27-year prison sentence for masterminding the Jan. 2023, attempted coup d'état. Bolsonaro has been incarcerated in a Federal Police facility in Brasilia since Saturday. In an extraordinary virtual session, all four members of the STF panel ratified the measure ordered during the weekend by case rapporteur Alexandre De Moraes. At a custody hearing, the former president confessed to using an iron against the gadget and claimed “paranoia” caused by medication. In ordering the retired captain's detention, De Moraes took into account a vigil called by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), the former president's son, to be held in front of Bolsonaro's Brasília residence where he was under house arrest.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva issued a warning this Sunday (Nov. 23) about the need to discuss countries’ sovereignty over the knowledge and added value of critical minerals. Lula spoke during the final thematic session of the G20 Leaders’ Summit – a gathering of the world’s largest economies in Johannesburg, South Africa.On the agenda were critical minerals, artificial intelligence, and decent work - topics that were also discussed at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), which concluded this weekend in Belém, northern Brazil. “The way we integrate these three vectors of development will define not only our present but also the future of the next generations,” said the Brazilian president.

Even with the Orinoco Belt containing 300 billion barrels of oil, Venezuela produces little, faces technological limitations, and depends on foreign investment to recover. Saudi Arabia is often mentioned when discussing oil because it has maintained a leading global position for decades. However, Latin America holds extraordinary potential that remains far from its expected performance. Furthermore, its current production is 12 times lower, despite the enormous volume of available resources. Venezuela is the prime example of this contradiction. The country is home to the Orinoco Oil Belt, considered one of the largest reserves on the planet. The state-owned PDVSA oil company reported that the region holds 300,878 billion barrels, surpassing Saudi Arabia's 267 billion. This represents a difference of at least 34 billion barrels.

China's economic footprint has woven itself into Brazil's industrial core and consumer habits, transforming the country into what The Diplomat calls “Beijing's preferred gateway into Latin America”. BYD electric vehicles now swarm Brazilian streets, commanding more than 80% of domestic EV sales. Chinese-backed apps like 99, the ride-hailing platform run by Didi, and Keeta, Meituan's food-delivery challenger, fight for dominance in cities where Uber and iFood once operated with little worry. Chinese firms are no longer just exporters selling to Brazil. They are investors, employers, and trend-setters, according to The Diplomat. As Chinese capital sinks deeper roots into Brazil, Latin America's most populous nation is becoming a continental launchpad for Chinese technology and manufacturing—challenging Washington's historic dominance in the hemisphere.
