Cape Verde–People's Republic of China relations refers to the current and historical relationship between the People's Republic of China and Cape Verde.  The two states established bilateral relations in April 1976, shortly after Cape Verde gained independence from the Portuguese Empire.  Cape Verde is an adherent to PR China's One China Policy.  China maintained relations with Cape Verde throughout from 1970s to mid-1990s mainly to prevent the Republic of China (Taiwan) from gaining Cape Verde's international recognition through checkbook diplomacy.  However, in the mid-1990s, a number of Chinese capitalists began investing in the island nation and relations grew during the 2000s as a result. Isaura Gomes (born 1944) is a Cape Verdean politician and pharmacist.  She graduated as the best student of her class in secondary school, but did not get a scholarship to go to a university in Portugal, as the scholarship instead went to the son of a Portuguese citizen although the son had lower grades than she did.  However, the next year Cape Verde's only dentist helped her get a full scholarship to study pharmacy at the University of Coimbra, where she also received scholarships as the top-ranking student, as well as tutoring her classmates.  After graduating in 1967 she worked in Portugal briefly before returning to Cape Verde in 1970.  After returning to Cape Verde she led the secret activities of the African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde in São Vicente; Cape Verde became independent in 1975.  She was the first and only female deputy of the party from 1975 to 1981, and caused the advancement of women's rights within the party.  She also helped found the National Women's Organization of Cape Verde, and was instrumental in getting national laws legalizing abortion passed.  She left the party in 1981 because of lack of support for a multiparty system in Cape Verde that she wanted.  In the 1980s she was important in developing the medical system of Cape Verde, serving as its national director of pharmacies and training its laboratory and pharmacy technicians.  She also was important in the mid-1980s in helping secure international recognition for the Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora, who was her friend.  She opened her own clinical laboratory and pharmacy in 1989.  From 1997 to 2003 she was the president of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Cape Verde, and in 2001 she was the president of the Cape Verde Federation of the Associations for the Promotion of Women.

In 2005 she joined the Movement for Democracy, and in 2008 she was reelected as mayor.  In 2011 she resigned as mayor, stating that her resignation was for health reasons. Cape Verde–United States relations are the international relations between Cape Verde and the United States.  The relationship is cordial and has strong historical roots.  In the early 18th century, U.S. whaling ships appear to have begun recruiting crews from Brava and Fogo to hunt whales that were abundant in the waters surrounding Cape Verde.  Ties between the American colonies and Cape Verde are documented as early as the 1740s, when American ships routinely anchored in Cape Verdean ports to trade for salt or buy slaves.  The tradition of emigration to the United States began at that time and continues today. Beti is a dancer in the Raiz di Polon company in Cape Verde.  She receives an offer from Lisbon to join a Cape Verde music show and start a new career there.  The offer unchains the deep-set Cape Verde conflict in her: identity built on the Diaspora century after century.  Doubts, nostalgia, uprooting, they all soar over her and accompany her decision.  The same dilemma that surrounds all Cape Verdeans, the yearning to leave, the yearning to return.  Expressed and brought together around music, hallmark of the people of Cape Verde. A Cape Verde hurricane, or Cabo Verde hurricane is an Atlantic hurricane that originates at low-latitude in the deep tropics from a tropical wave that has passed over or near the Cape Verde islands after exiting the coast of West Africa.  The average hurricane season has about two Cape Verde hurricanes, which are often the largest and most intense storms of the season due to having plenty of warm open ocean over which to develop before encountering land or other factors prompting weakening.  A good portion of Cape Verde storms are large, some setting records.  Most of the longest-lived tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin are Cape Verde hurricanes.  While many move harmlessly out to sea, some move across the Caribbean sea and into the Gulf of Mexico, becoming damaging storms for Caribbean nations, Central America, Mexico, Bermuda, the United States, and occasionally even Canada.  Research projects since the 1970s have been launched to understand the formation of these storms. In sports broadcasting, a sports analyst provides expert discussion of sports-related topics before, during, or after a sporting event.  Sports analysts are frequently former athletes who participated in the sport being analyzed.  A sports analyst is different from a sports commentator in that sports commentators provide a running commentary regarding a sporting event while the event is taking place, whereas sports analysts usually provide commentary about sporting events which have yet to take place or which have already concluded.  The job of the color commentator is a hybrid of the two styles, providing expert analysis of a sporting event while the sporting event is taking place. The Olympic Winter Games (official name) (French: "Jeux olympiques d'hiver" ) is a major international sporting event held once every four years, for sports practised on snow and ice.  The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France.  The original five sports (broken into nine disciplines) were bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, Nordic skiing (consisting of the disciplines military patrol, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, and ski jumping), and skating (consisting of the disciplines figure skating and speed skating).  The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936, interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II, and resumed in 1948.  Until 1992 the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years, but in accordance with a 1986 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to place the Summer and Winter Games on separate four-year cycles in alternating even-numbered years, the next Winter Olympics after 1992 was in 1994. In Cape Verde, the Cape Verdean escudo (CVE) became the national currency in 1914.  It replaced the Cape Verdean real at a rate of 1000 réis = 1 escudo.  The real was equal to the Portuguese real.  Until 1930, Cape Verde used Portuguese coins, although in 1865, Portuguese notes were overstamped for use in Cape Verde, and in 1897, notes specifically designed for Cape Verde were introduced, in denominations of 1000, 2500 and 5000 réis.  Notes for 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 réis followed in 1909. Cape Verde has sent athletes to every Summer Olympic Games held since 1996, although the country has never won an Olympic medal.
