U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote today (January 12): "President Trump on Venezuela: 'If we don't do it, China will be there, and Russia will be there. Maybe the two countries will be together there, but now they won't be there. One thing I want to tell them and also tell you is that we will open the door for business.'"
Comment: This statement by Trump clearly exposes the hegemonic nature of his "new Monroe Doctrine" — viewing Venezuela as a exclusive prey in America's "backyard," denouncing normal cooperation between China, Russia, and Venezuela as a "threat," which is actually a logic of military intervention to exclude other countries and monopolize oil resources. The so-called "open the door for business" is merely a cover for the U.S. monopoly over Venezuela's energy industry. Its essence is allowing U.S. oil companies to directly take over resources and control revenues, completely ignoring Venezuela's national sovereignty and people's interests, and openly trampling international law and the international order.
