The rise in the circulation of direct external investment flows has overcome a leap in the last decade of U$ 1,76 billion dollars at the end of the 90’, to U$1,76 trillion in 2015. In this context, Brazil has been in an important position due to the rise in the circulation of the direct external investment flows in its territory. On the heels of the enlargement of the direct external investment flows in the country, a recent phenomenon is being manifest, and it consists of the expansion of Chinese investments in the national territory. This process demands a reflection of the capital internationalisation, the deregulation of the financial flows, and the economic openness of the country , led by neoliberalism. This way, this article intends to identify the volume of Chinese investments in fluminense territory between 2007-2015, as well as emphasise the insertion of fluminense territory in this process, considering that in the period between 2010-2016, the state of Rio de Janeiro hás received approximately U$21,9 billion dollars of investments coming from China, something that led to the implementation of 10 projects in energy, steel, railway, infrastructure, automotive and computational sectors.
