In international politics, gunboat diplomacy (or "Big Stick ideology" in U.S. history) refers to the pursuit of foreign policy objectives with the aid of conspicuous displays of naval power – implying or constituting a direct threat of warfare, should terms not be agreeable to the superior force.

Nikkei Asian Review
China apparently obtained arresting wire technology from Brazil in return for economic assistance and other favors.

TOKYO -- Most countries are reluctant to transfer carrier technology to others. But China found an unlikely ally in Brazil.
