Summary
The outsized ambitions and scale of the China-Venezuela political and financial relationship in the twenty-first century have meant that its failures and disappointments have been correspondingly large. This report explores how the nations came to be involved, how each side has responded to Venezuela's extended economic and political crisis, and the implications for the future of the bilateral relationship and for China's aspirations to be a leader and agent of international development.
