Abstract Spanning from the Atlantic port city in Brazil to the Pacific port city in Peru, the Brazil-Peru Twin Ocean Railroad from Brazil to Peru has significant geo-economic implications to South America’s regional integration, economic development and China-Latin America’s Economic cooperation. In the process of preparation and construction, the railway project will not only confront interferences from both environmental NGOs and indigenous communities, but also be constrained by factors like construction costs, project profitability, and other political and social risks in Brazil and Peru. China needs to properly interact with local NGOs and media, encourage Chinese NGOs to operate positively in South America in order that China can better coordinate with Brazil and Peru to smoothly push forward the railway project.
