Resumo

Este estudo analisa os efeitos sinérgicos da cooperação económica e do envolvimento cultural sino português entre 2003 e 2024, com particular atenção ao papel do guanxi enquanto enquadramento relacional. Com base numa análise qualitativa, o estudo explora de que forma a diplomacia estatal e as interações interpessoais têm conjuntamente promovido confiança, reciprocidade e compromisso de longo prazo. As evidências recolhidas - incluindo visitas de Estado, programas de diplomacia cultural e intercâmbios educativos - demonstram que a cooperação económica fornece as bases materiais para o envolvimento cultural, enquanto a troca cultural reduz barreiras de comunicação, fomenta lealdade e reforça a resiliência das relações bilaterais. Os resultados mostram que a cooperação económica e a cooperação cultural não operam de forma isolada, mas se reforçam mutuamente, gerando impactos superiores à soma das suas partes. Ao posicionar Portugal como um poder funcional e a China como um ator global, esta investigação contribui para os debates teóricos sobre relações internacionais relacionais e oferece contributos práticos sobre como o capital cultural e a colaboração económica podem, em conjunto, moldar parcerias sustentáveis.

YINKANGNI WANG, https://orcid.org/0009-0000-7194-0022

She is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Macau (China). Her academic trajectory began with an undergraduate exploration of the geopolitical implications of the Russia-Ukraine war for China, which ignited her interest in global strategic dynamics. During her Master's studies, she delved into the practical aspects of governance through research on e-government in Macau. Situated at the intersection of China and the Lusophone world, Macau served as a bridge, leading her to specialize in Sino-Portuguese relations within the framework of digital geopolitics. Her current research interests lie at the confluence of e-governance, geostrategy, and the unique role of functional powers like Portugal in shaping international cooperation.
