Leonardo Bruno dos Santos Silva known as China (born August 14, 1980, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer[1] who played as a right back.
Dos Santos Silva is a strong right-back who began his football career with Bangor and had spells with Palmeiras, América-RJ and Volta Redonda before he joined Flamengo in 2004.
China helped the German club to rise to the first division and gained some prominence in European football.
A major factor in the withdrawal from the Portuguese club was a knee ligament problem that haunted him for some time.
After spending most of 2008 and 2009 without any action, China was hired by the Volta Redonda to compete in the Campeonato Carioca 2010 and later that year ended up going to Bangu, where he played the Série D of the Brazilian Championship.
