Brazil is courting the Chinese satellite manufacturer SpaceSail to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink service, following a tense conflict with Musk over his social media platform X. The Brazilian government, under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is proposing the use of a military space base to facilitate competition in the low-Earth orbit satellite market, aiming to enhance internet connectivity across the nation's remote areas. While Brazil seeks to strengthen ties with China, it also must navigate its relationship with the U.S., particularly as Musk's influence grows with a potential Trump administration.
