Dear Mr.\Mrs.,
We are pleased to send you information about our new executive program: Companies and Markets in China
Today, a FGV DINT initiative in partnership with the Institute for Brazil China Studies (IBRACH) and the School of
Public Policies and Management of Tsinghua University in Beijing. The executive program: Companies and Markets
in China Today is a pioneering initiative in Latin America designed for executives from the public and private sectors,
with current or future work prospects in China. The two-week course will be held in Rio de Janeiro from May 7th –
11th, 2012 at FGV’s headquarters, and in Beijing from May 20 -24th, 2012, at the School for Public Policy and
Management at Tsinghua University.
The program is targeted for a specific audience: executives from Brazil and the surrounding region who have strategic
demands related to China and its future development course. The course provides the best international expertise
about China’s current political and economic landscape, as well as direct access to the executives, innovating
companies, planners and opinion makers on China. We believe that in this current global context in which China’s
presence is felt across most economic and political spheres, the most valuable asset of an executive program is its
focus, providing participants with the ability to respond to economic and political questions specific to the Latin
American region, as well as access to a global network of expertise.
Below you will find more detailed information about the course including: dates, times, locations, costs, and
registration process. All this information is also available on the FGV-DINT wesbite and IBRACH website.
You are cordially invited to participate in our China Open House to take places on March 27th at FGV headquarters in
Rio de Janiero, where the program organizers will discuss the challenges of the China-Brazil relationship and present
the objectives and course program.
FGV DINT, IBRACH
Why Learn About China?
China, currently the second largest economy in the world and Brazil’s principle trading partner, is a
relevant economic partner for Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The impact of Chinese investments on Latin
American has been profound, altering established inter-regional trade patterns, creating opportunities
and challenges, and opening up a debate about long-term strategic perspectives. For Brazil and Latin
America as a whole, China represents new opportunities for investment and potential partnerships.
For the global economy, China is a country that best positioned itself to benefit from globalization and
the modular electronic industry, and that today, is preparing to become not just an efficient producer,
but a world-class innovator.
Despite China’s increasing economic and political importance in the region, knowledge about the
country remains scarce. The Executive Program: FGV-IBRACH-Tsinghua: Companies and
Markets in China Today was designed to meet the growing demand for information and specialized
human resources. The program, administered by internationally renowned specialists, aims at a
strategic understanding of the current Chinese economy. Our objective is to offer public and private
sector executives interested in advancing their work relations with China access to international
specialists, global networks and the necessary instruments to develop economic strategies and
deepen political cooperative relations.
The Program
This pioneering program brings together leading international and national experts on China, as well
as WTO members, business executives and investors operating in China and think tanks dedicated to
analyzing the Chinese economy. The program is made up of 2 integrated modules that will take place
on May 7-11th, 2012 at FGV headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and on May 20-24th, 2012 at Tsinghua
University in Beijing.

relationship between public and private sectors will be studied. Regional production chains and the
entry process of Chinese companies into the global market will be reviewed, as well as China’s
performance in the World Trade Organization. The first part of the course will also address the central
aspects of current Chinese foreign policy and its governance initiatives, both globally and regionally,
with special attention to Latin America.
Week of May 20st -24th: School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University,
Beijing
During the second week of the course, held in Beijing, the focus will be on China’s preparations for
