  • Sino-Venezuelan Relations: Beyond Oil
    Issues & Studies© 44, no. 3 (September 2008): 99-147. Sino-Venezuelan Relations: Beyond Oil JOSEPH Y. S. CHENG AND HUANGAO SHI Sino-Venezuelan relations have witnessed an unprecedented inti- macy since the beginning of Hugo Chávez's presidency in 1999. While scholars hold divergent views on the possible implications of the suddenly improved bilateral relationship, they have reached a basic consensus that oil has been the driving force. This article explores the underlying dy- namics of this relationship from the Chinese perspective. It argues that oil interest actually plays a rather limited role and will continue to remain an insignificant variable in Sino-Venezuelan ties in the foreseeable future. Despite the apparent closeness of the ties in recent years, the foundation forcontinued improvement in the future seems farfromsolid. Sino-Venezue- lan relations have caused serious concerns in the United States, which, for centuries, have seen Latin America as its sphere of influence. Although the neo-conservatives are worried about the deviant Chávez administration and a rising China, the chance of any direct U.S. intervention remains slim. Nevertheless, the China-U.S.-Venezuelan triangular relationship poses a JOSEPH Y. S.
