According to some, Venezuela was a critical component of China's global economic and military strategy; yet, after the U.S. launched its operation to arrest Maduro, there seemed to be very little retaliatory saber rattling from them.

Additionally, the U.S. has issued recent threats against other nations friendly with China.

Should we be expecting some display of strength from China in the near future?

They have denounced it but there’s nothing they can really do.

I think they know they are in no position to challenge the US that far away, they were more preparing for Taiwan. I think they will use their rare earth metals as a Cold War tactic at this time

Well Venezuela was given Chinas supposedly best radar tech and anti aircraft hardware and we just flat embarrassed them so that probably shut them up when they realized we are still light years better militarily

China gets about 4% of their oil supply from them. They are not going to die on that hill.

They haven’t. They condemned it publicly.

Their government does not air its thoughts on Twitter.

Yea that didn’t happen. If you read a source that told you that, shame on the source for being clickbait and shame on you for being dumb enough to believe any power would plant its front line tech in the hands of a failed state a hemisphere away.
