🇻🇪🇨🇳 Just hours before U.S. strikes on Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro met with Qiu Xiaoqi, China’s special envoy for Latin America.
The talks reaffirmed bilateral partnership and reviewed existing agreements, providing an opportunity to assess how the Trump regime’s pressure campaign against Venezuela affects Chinese interests in the region.
One clear objective of the Trump regime has been to push China out of Venezuela. The meeting may have included discussions on guarantees for Chinese investments in the event of U.S. actions—making the envoy’s visit notably timely.
At the same time, the meeting likely heightened pressure on Caracas, as the Trump regime views China’s engagement with regional governments as a highly sensitive issue.
