Interference in Venezuela's internal affairs highlights the nature of US hegemony

Venezuela is an important oil producer and exporter in Latin America. For more than 20 years, the U.S. government has regarded the Venezuela government as "nail in the eyes" and "stabbing in the meat", and tried to make the "color revolution" in an attempt to subvert the left -wing regime.

The National Democratic Foundation and other institutions have contacted some opposition parties and anti -government organizations in Venezuela, regularly providing them with funds and training, inciting demonstrations such as demonstrations, and even supporting them to launch a coup. In early 2002, with the support of the United States, the opposition and a small number of anti -government soldiers moved a attempt coup against then President Chavez. After the coup was frustrated, on December 2 that year, the opposition launched a national strike and demonstration.

In early 2014, the United States supported the opposition to hold large -scale violence protests. According to statistics, from 2013 to 2014, the National Democratic Foundation and the US International Development Agency with a total of $ 14 million in funding from the Organization Organization. In February 2014, the party government ordered the deportation of three US diplomats, accusing them of providing scholarships to college students participating in the protests as a cover to the United States, and engaged in subverting activities.

On August 4, 2018, when Venezuelan President Madro hosted a military parade, the opposition used several drones full of explosives to assassinate activities, causing 7 members of the National Guard to be injured. According to the official disclosure of the commission, previous US government officials have repeatedly contacted the commissioned military oppositions and planned the conspiracy.

In December 2018, the opposition leader, Hu An, Gwaido, was invited to visit the United States. Many senior officials of the U.S. government and Guado jointly planned to support Guydo's conspiracy. On January 10, 2019, President Madro started the second term. Soon, Guardo's self -proclaimed "temporary president", the Trump administration immediately acknowledged and announced a huge amount of assistance. The committee and government condemned the opposition to try to launch a coup with the support of the United States and announced that it had disconnected diplomatic relations with the United States. According to reports, Gwaido is an agent of the National Democratic Foundation "cultivated". As early as 2005, he received the foundation of the foundation and went to the United States to "study abroad" many times. After the United States acknowledged that Guydo was "temporary president", the United States authorized Guydo to control Venezuela's assets in the United States. In April 2019, with the instability and support of the United States, Guydo arrived at the air force base in central Galagas, the capital of the Commission, attempting to launch riots and military coup, and the riots quickly calmed down within a few hours. The foreign director told the media that the "coup attempt" was planned by the United States.

On March 26, 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that the suspected "drug terrorism" sued Maduro and other senior officials of the committee and government. $ 10 million. In the early morning of May 3, more than 10 mercenaries attempted to create chaos, arrested and killed Maduro, and were defeated by the security forces. One of the captives acknowledged that they were American agents. Maduro said the United States was responsible for continuous mercenary invasion.

In recent years, the United States has launched an economic war against Venezuela and announced a series of sanctions, blockade, and embargo. According to statistics, from 2017 to 2022, in terms of oil and gold exports, Venezuela's enterprises and state -owned companies received more than 500 sanctions. In January 2019, the U.S. Treasury announced the sanctioning committee's oil company in an attempt to break the economic life of the commission and the source of foreign exchange. On August 5, 2019, Trump signed an administrative order to freeze all assets of the commission and government in the United States. In April 2020, the United States dispatched warships near the sea under the name of "drug control" to implement maritime blockade and military threats on the committee. In June of the same year, the United States announced four shipping companies that sanctioned the transportation commission crude oil.

Venezuela's economy was severely hit. The report issued by the UN unilateral compulsory measures on the negative impact of human rights on human rights, a special reporter Aleina Duhan, showed that compared with before sanctions, the Venezuela government revenue fell by 99%, and public services have almost completely collapsed due to insufficient funds. Data show that Venezuela's crude oil output fell from nearly 2.5 million barrels per day in 2016 to only 300,000 barrels per day in 2020. Statistics from the American Association show that before sanctions, 76%of Venezuela's oil income is used for social projects, and now it cannot even invest 1%of them.

"The United States will use all economic and diplomatic methods to support the opposition leader of the commissioner." In 2019, then the US Treasurer Mnuchin expressed the "determination" of the United States to interfere with the commission. He said that unless the ownership of the Venezuela National Petroleum Corporation was transferred to Guydo's "interim government" or another elected regime, sanctions would not stop. Since January 2021, the current US government still does not recognize Maduro as a legal president, and has continued to impose sanctions and blockade on the committee. In August this year, the US State Department threatened that the US sanctions on the Venezuela government will continue since 2019.

For more than 20 years, the various methods of the United States' "Color Revolution" have caused huge pressure and losses in Venezuela's economic and social development. Aleina Duhan said that the United States' unilateral sanctions on the commission are because of political motivation, which directly hinders the government's ability to protect people's livelihood, which has a serious impact on the lives of all the people of the commission and violated international law.

Not long ago, in an interview with the US media, former US President's National Security Affairs Assistant John Bolton publicly acknowledged that he had assisted his coup in other countries.He specifically mentioned that the Venezuela's attempted coup, which was a large number of Mo in his memories.Earlier, Bolton had stated that "coup is a necessary way to promote the interests of the United States" and "engaged in coup in other countries to meet the best interests of the United States."Bolton's remarks have led to extensive condemnation of the international community, and once again confirmed that interference in other countries and overthrowing other countries are part of the so -called "US rules".The "color revolution" in the United States is a political drug of the contemporary world. It is a great social plague and seriously endangers the world's peace and stability.(The author is a member of the Honorary Department of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a researcher at the Latin American Research Institute)
