Abstract: In outward foreign direct investment, differences in the legal environments between the home country and the host country can cause significant difficulties for enterprises implementing such investments. There are clear differences between the labor laws of Brazil and China, posing severe challenges for Chinese enterprises investing in Brazil. This article compares the legislative systems of labor laws in Brazil and China, the subjects to which the labor laws apply, and several specific systems closely related to enterprises, with the aim of providing useful insights and references for Chinese enterprises investing in Brazil.
