Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing cannot accept any country acting as the “world’s judge” after the United States captured Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
The world’s second-largest economy has provided Venezuela with an economic lifeline since the U.S. and its allies ramped up sanctions in 2017, purchasing roughly $1.6 billion worth of goods in 2024, the most recent full-year data available.
Almost half of China’s purchases were crude oil, customs data shows, while its state-owned oil giants had invested around $4.6 billion in Venezuela by 2018, according to data from the American Enterprise Institute think tank, which tracks Chinese overseas corporate investment.
lol, if you’re not chinese, wealthy, and in the party you’re not in the club.
If you’re not ultra wealthy you’re also not in the club today, so i’m sure you won’t see much of a change between one regime and another, unless you’re an ‘undesirable’ that comes to find yourself in the sphere of influence of china anyway.
I don’t care about being rich, I just want the terrorist empire to fall
