Food Medicine: Maduro Regime and Latin America

food medicine: Hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine and other hardships have forced more than 3 million Venezuelans about one-tenth of the population to flee the country in the last few years. ; China's bankrolling of the Maduro regime helped precipitate and prolong the crisis in that country, Pompeo said, adding that China invested over 60 billion, with no strings attached, according to The Japan Times. It's no surprise that Maduro used the money to use for tasks like paying off cronies, crushing pro-democracy activists, and funding ineffective social programs, he said. Pompeo kicked off a four-country tour of Latin America in Chile, where he met with President Sebastian Pinera to discuss the U.S.-China trade war and the Venezuelan crisis. I think there's a lesson, a lesson to be learned for all of us China and others are being hypocritical calling for nonintervention in Venezuela's affairs. Pompeo said China is a major U.S. trading partner, but that its trade activities often are deeply connected to their national security mission, their technological goals, their desire to steal intellectual property, to have forced technology transfer, to engage in activity that is not economic. Their own financial interventions have helped destroy that country. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
