Now the US is in shock! The US has been calculating very carefully, but what they ended up getting was a notice from China to suspend procurement. On January 28th, according to foreign media reports, after the US arrested Venezuelan President Maduro on January 3rd, the US controlled 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil. After completing these actions, the US stated that it would allow China to purchase Venezuelan oil. However, the US waited and waited, but did not get our continued procurement. And right now, a source has revealed a big news.

The source said that China National Petroleum Corporation has informed its traders not to buy or trade Venezuelan crude oil. China National Petroleum Corporation's traders were told not to participate in any transactions related to crude oil until further notice from the headquarters. Obviously, after the US took control of Venezuela's resources, it was preparing to make a big profit, but as the biggest seller, we have stopped the import, which must have made the US feel very upset.

Certainly, why did we stop importing? This mainly has three reasons. First, the US controlling Venezuelan oil is a naked act of plunder. If we buy oil that the US has looted, it would mean we are tacitly accepting the US's behavior, which we certainly will not endorse. Second, the US is still imposing a blockade on Venezuela, and the supply chain of oil from Venezuela is very unstable, with incidents of ship detention occurring frequently, so our oil buyers definitely won't take the risk of purchasing it.

Third, after the US took control of Venezuelan oil, the price of Venezuelan oil no longer has an advantage, and we can completely replace the gap by purchasing oil from Canada, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. To be honest, the oil controlled by the US will inevitably require us to use dollars for transactions, which is not conducive to our promotion of the internationalization of the RMB. Therefore, stopping the purchase is a wise choice, and whether the US is happy about it is something the US needs to consider.
