>>541603734actually China did not invest a dime in Venezuela, chinks are not retards, there has been cases where the chinks withdrew investments due to latin american corruption, Venezuela was more an Cuban/Iranian Outpost rather than a chink protectorate.Also venezuelan oil is plentiful but of extremely low quality, I think only the Americans have the tech to refine it, if they could have shipped to china then venezuela would not have faced hyperinflation.

>>541603734Venezuela has the same importance on the world stage as your irrelevant eurotrash country.
>>541603734Since when did China "build up" Venezuela? At some point in the not too distant future some new leader of Venezuela will just nationalise everything all over again, for the third time and those oil companies will get a bailout from US taxpayers, give it time
