China is a strong allie of Venezuela. They have warned against military intervention from their very large neighbour, the US.
Does anyone else see the parallels between Venezuela and Taiwan?
I wonder what would happen if the Chinese navy started exercising their freedom of navigation rights in the area.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.China has every right to form an alliance with Venezuela or any other country it pleases. The US should stay the hell out of Venezuela, Ukraine, the Middle East, et al. If we have a mutual defense agreement with a country, then we have to help them IF THEY ARE ATTACKED—otherwise we need to butt out IMO.
Navigation on the high seas is perfectly legal.

Some citizens arested, some economical retaliation, some screams in twitter, and 1 week later all the same.
Both have veto power, no other country will enter in their mess.

@powder US won't stop buyng Venezuelan oil.
The only possible move that china can do is overtaking those contracts from US, but it will make China buy more expensive and further away oil.
In the end Venezuela will be a toy of the big guys on the yard, and will be thrown away when their talks proceed.
I think even a proxy war is not desirable, china can't intervene so far away and US already is getting cheap oil from there, so why bother?
