ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the growing economic and political presence of China in Venezuela and its possible implications for the US interests. The relationship between China, the United States and Venezuela may be characterized as “triangular”. Moreover, the chapter argues that their relationship has been synchronized. This means that the relation between two of the countries affects the third one and vice versa in a process of almost simultaneous responses. In the present chapter, the author analyses the synchronization process between China, the United States and Venezuela from 2000 to 2016.
