Maduro was successfully re-elected as president, and United States's "face" immediately became gloomy, and China made its position clear at the first time and sent strong reinforcements to Maduro.
The election in Venezuela has come to an end, and the current President Maduro has been successfully re-elected, which has made it difficult for the domestic opposition to accept, and also made the "supporters" behind the opposition United States look ugly.
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is visiting Japan, said the results did not fully reflect the "opinions" of the Venezuela people, suggesting that the election results United States refused to recognize.

In stark contrast, China immediately sent its best wishes to Maduro, reviewed the close cooperation between China and Venezuela in the past, expressed its willingness to work with Venezuela to benefit the people of the two countries, and sent a strong commitment to Maduro.
Along with China, Russia and Cuba were also congratulated, and Russian President Vladimir Putin highly praised Maduro's contribution to relations between the two countries, saying that Maduro will always be a welcome guest on Russia's soil.
Cuban President Díaz. Canel's congratulations were more direct, saying that the dignity and courage of the Venezuela people had triumphed over pressure and manipulation and that Cuba would continue to support Maduro.
Having said this, it is not difficult to see United States's unfriendly attitude towards Maduro, and to understand this, we need to have a brief understanding of the political situation in Venezuela.
The current political faction in Venezuela is mainly divided into two camps, one is the government-supported faction, led by the current President Nicolas · Maduro, who advocates the continuation of socialist reform policies, emphasizing state control of the economy and the nationalization of oil resources.
The opposing opposition is made up of political parties and social groups that criticize all the actions of the current government and advocate the restoration of economic free market principles, the improvement of human rights, and the holding of "free and fair" elections.
Of course, Venezuela opposition has been recognized by the United States, or that the faction is just a pawn planted by United States in the Venezuela, and most of the claims put forward are in United States interests.
In this context, the Maduro government not only has to face challenges such as economic crisis and inflation, but also has to maintain friendly relations with China, Russia, Cuba and other countries under both internal and external pressure.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention United States's involvement in the political situation of the South United States countries, United States have always regarded South America as their own backyard and demanded that these countries obey the command of the United States.

If a leader dares to disobey United States's "orders," the United States has a complete system of intervention and will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals.
For example, by issuing official statements, imposing economic sanctions, recalling ambassadors, or reducing the level of diplomatic relations, pressure is exerted on countries that do not comply with their policies.
Another example is the use of economic aid as a reward for countries that follow United States foreign policy, while imposing economic sanctions on uncooperative governments, restricting trade, freezing assets, or cutting off access to international financing.
and through financial assistance, training, advocacy, and other forms of support to help opposition groups build up and promote regime change, for example, by publicly acknowledging or privately supporting opposition leaders in some cases.
Under the leadership of the Maduro government, which values its own national interests and is bent on development, it United States Venezuela is not easy for Maduro to be re-elected, and it is no wonder that United States "refuses to recognize" such an outcome.
China's first statement will undoubtedly give the "anti-US fighter" Maduro more confidence in resisting United States oppression, and the cooperation between China and Venezuela that has been deepening since the establishment of diplomatic relations will reach a higher level.
Venezuela has rich oil resources, and China is one of the world's largest oil importers, and the two sides have long-term cooperation in the oil field, China has provided loans to Venezuela, and Venezuela has repaid it with oil exports.

In order to assist Venezuela, China has used its housekeeping skills to participate in a number of large-scale infrastructure construction projects, providing Venezuela with a large number of housing, communication networks, railways and hospitals.
We are willing to help countries that are able to maintain their own views and not blindly follow the trend under the pressure of United States, and we are willing to help within our capacity, in stark contrast to United States's hegemonic interference in the internal affairs of other countries United States.
