What did they know?
🇨🇳 Chinese officials appear to have been caught in the crossfire in 🇻🇪 Caracas after they arrived for high level meetings with the Venezuelan government just hours before President Trump claimed Nicolás Maduro had been captured.
On Friday, Maduro received Qiu Xiaoqi, President Xi Jinping’s special envoy for Latin American and Caribbean affairs, at the Miraflores Palace.
Maduro publicly praised the meeting on Telegram, saying the two sides reaffirmed their commitment to a deepening strategic relationship aimed at building a multipolar world.
The meeting took place amid escalating US pressure on Venezuela, following the recent seizure of oil tankers carrying Venezuelan crude, some reportedly bound for China.
The timing has raised questions about whether Chinese officials were present in the country as security conditions rapidly deteriorated.
