Las relaciones diplomáticas Venezuela - China (1943-1974)

Abstract

Venezuela - China relations date from 1943. Since then until 1974, we place thefirst stage of dialogues with mainland China, which will then have its epicenterin Taiwan given the triumph of the communist revolution and the provisionaltransfer of the nationalist government to Taipei (1949). With the entry of thePeople's Republic of China to the UN (1971), as well as its rapprochement withthe US, most Latin American countries broke with Taiwan and normalized theirrelations with Beijing. In the Venezuelan case, it happened on June 28, 1974; thus, our objective is to analyze this second stage of Sino-Venezuelan relations.
