Goober, are you kidding me? Most South American countries like Peru, Brazil, Columbia, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile do not want that type of authoritarian government no where near their shores. They knew what happened to Argentina in the 1980's and to Chile in the 1990's. And China has more democratic processes in place locally than what Venezuela has currently? Good Grief? PS. This should not have been to any great surprise if one was watching the internal politics of Venezuela for the last 5 years. Venezuela will become another Guyana, unfortunately.
