Excerpt from the Folha de São Paulo newspaper:

“Os EUA apertaram o cerco à China e aos seus parceiros.”
(Folha de SP, 22/10)

(“USA close the siege to China and their partners”)

"""
The USA has been imposing restrictions to the satellite program that Brazil maintains with China. National companies that manufacture components to the ships CBERS (China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite) 3 and 4 are having problems to acquire components from the USA.

(…) Representatives form the American government said to directors from the INPE (National Space Research Institute) that they wouldn’t like the 100% Brazilian produced satellite Amazônia-1 to be launched in 2010 on board of a Chinese rocket.

The restrictions are not aimed to Brazil, but to its partner, a military and now also spacial power.
