This paper uses sentiment and content analysis techniques to investigate treaties and other international documents signed by Brazil and China. It identifies the strong presence of values such as solidarity orienting their economic relations, and therefore suggests an alternative approach in observing international relations involving Global South countries, taking into consideration the Spirit of Bandung. The research used the software RStudio for text mining and ATLAS.ti for discursive analysis.
