Reports on China

"Venezuela, for the American oil companies, will be a field day, because it will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity.”

~Rep. Maria Salazar, U.S. Congresswoman from Florida, pushing for an U.S. invasion of Venezuela (Nov. 24, 2025)

"And I will keep the oil. I will keep the oil. We're going to take the oil. We should have taken the oil. ...We go in, we take the oil... we have the oil."

~Donald Trump, on stealing the oil from, Venezuela, at a Campaign Rally in Miami (November 2023)

"And by the way, if I ever went in, I'd take the oil. I'd take the oil. You know, all these years they've been trying to get the oil, and they never got the oil. I'd take the oil."

~Donald Trump, on stealing the oil from, Venezuela (The Wall Street Journal, August 2023)

"When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over; we would have gotten to all that oil; it would have been right next door."

~Donald Trump, boasted at a rally, in 2019, about his attempt to overthrow the government of Venezuela

In a move that has shocked many around the world, except for those in the European controlled nations, who claim to support freedom and international law.

The United States has carried out a brutal military operation in Venezuela and captured its president and his wife, who have been taken back to New York against their will.

China has come out and strongly condemned the blatant war on peace and stability, but European controlled nations' governments, despite claiming to care so much about international law. Are unsurprisingly unmoved, with some, like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, saying he will "shed no tears" over the kidnapping of President Maduro.

A Chinese delegation met with Maduro just hours before the president was abducted, after he posted on social media praising the relationship between China and Venezuela.

So what exactly is going on, and why are Western leaders so two-faced when it comes to the illegal actions of the Trump regime?

Today we'll go beyond the propaganda and check out all the details.

China is a complicated place, and there is definitely a lot of content out there that I don't think accurately or fairly represents this huge country of 1.4 billion.

Hi there, I'm Andy Boreham, a New Zealander living and working in Shanghai, China. I make videos for a more critical and open-minded audience. I speak Mandarin and have a masters degree in Chinese Language and Culture from Fudan University, which I think helps me dive a bit deeper in my content.

This channel features my series Reports on China, where I analyze Western media reports and also occasionally present longer-form, in-depth reports on China topics. I also post other content here, including my Curious in China series which looks deeper into certain aspects of contemporary China that don't necessarily fit into news and current affairs.

If you're ready and willing to see the "real" China, at least according to me, then come along for the ride!
