China is being left out of deal. China supported Maduro.  China wants into Venezuela  . . . .  just as they have made inroads to Argentina and Brazil by investing Billions.  Guaido knows who his friends are.  U.S. / Russian deal will have Venezuela up and running by year end (in my opinion).  Too bad Trump let "cat out of the bag".  I think they will still be able to keep China out.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China will work with the international community to play a constructive role with Venezuela and help the country to get back on a normal development path as soon as possible, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Russian media. Oil-rich Venezuela is locked in a political and economic crisis. Opposition leader Juan Guaido invoked Venezuela’s constitution in January to assume the interim presidency, saying President Nicolas Maduro’s reelection was not legitimate.Most Western countries have since backed Guaido as head of state but Maduro retains the support of China and Russia. Xi told TASS news agency and Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper that China opposes foreign interference, unilateral sanctions, the use of force, or threats of the use of force, when it came to Venezuela.

“China is willing to work with the international community to play a positive and constructive role on the Venezuela issue,” Xi said, according to a transcript published by China’s Foreign Ministry ahead of his arrival in Russia on Wednesday. China was also willing to “help Venezuela return to a normal development path as soon as possible”, he said.

Getting rid of Maduro is one thing. Uniting a very fractious voter population is another.  Probably 40 different people who think they should be next leader.

Other topic : Trump putting pressure on Cuba.  Their military protects Maduro. He trusts the Cubans more than his own military.  Something should start soon.
