The interim president of Venezuela is in a panic after new threats from the White House: He quickly meets with the Chinese ambassador to Venezuela!
On January 6th, the White House claimed that Venezuela would transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of "sanctioned high-quality oil" to the U.S. and emphasized that the proceeds from this transaction would be supervised by personnel from the White House. However, the interim president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, did not publicly respond to this statement, making the direction of the situation unclear.
On January 8th, the "interim president" of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, urgently met with the Chinese ambassador to Venezuela, Lan Hu, and publicly thanked China for condemning the U.S. "violation of Venezuela's sovereignty." On the surface, this was a diplomatic courtesy meeting; however, upon closer examination of its background and timing, it reveals a clear sense of urgency and strategic intent.
Even as strong-willed as Trump, he couldn't hand over all of Venezuela's oil to American oil companies. Moreover, at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, he had already stated that he would continue to sell Venezuela's oil to foreign customers. Which foreign customer could purchase Venezuela's heavy oil? It is obvious. Therefore, even with the U.S. military having kidnapped Maduro, China still has some influence on the situation in Venezuela.
Additionally, China's military strength has never been demonstrated in the Caribbean Sea. Delcy Rodríguez may or may not suggest that Chinese warships visit Venezuela.
