Kolonel Ricardo kent al twee woorden: ni hao
22 april 2008 door redactie Mr. Li
Verslaggever Marijke van den Berg bericht wekelijks vanuit Venezuela in dagblad De Pers.
Venezuela wil zo snel mogelijk af van de VS. Daarom richt het de blik nadrukkelijk op China. Maar het ruilt de ene afhankelijkheid in voor de andere.
Ramón Fahado zit bij kolonel Ricardo in de klas. Hij is binnen het leger verantwoordelijk voor de verbindingen en communicatie. Ramón wil gaan werken met de satelliet die China nu voor Venezuela aan het bouwen is. De Venesat-1 zal niet alleen voor civiele communicatie worden gebruikt, maar ook door het leger.

Very interesting piece on Sino-Venezuelan relations. Shouldn’t countries build their own satellites? Seems reasonable to conclude that if China builds Venezuela a satellite for military and civilian communications, then they could also install monitoring chips and know everything Venezuela is doing.

Well, this comment is reallly stupid, build a computers factory for nothing.
I’m from Venezuela , I know this factory is working, Venezuela has to buy computers from China, this way they can tranfer technology. Why worries about Venezuela? Hey, we are good country, we need to grow like any other country. Why not, why if we make our thing we not have to buy from Europe is expensive product and gringo product any way both make China with English name , who wrote this is really stupid ahhhhjjjj.

Kind of disappointing to see Venezuela associating with a nation that also has very little regard for human rights. Whether trading with the West or the East, the end result is the same: profits before people…or so it seems.

To Vera from Germany: Venezuela is not only dealing with China, it is also dealing with Russia, Iran, Belarus, Brazil, Argentina, etc. The reason is that these countries offer us technology transfer, something that the USA and Europe have never done. All they want is for us and Africa is to remain a raw material supplier where your transnational rape us.
As for human rights, China is always being blamed for this but anyone with some grey matter would conclude that biggest human right violators of today and historically are the Americans, closely followed by some European nations, many of you have become rich and developed by the blood you shed in Africa and Latin America. Perhaps you should revise some history.

Como bien dice el artículista, se trata de sustituir una dependencia por otra. Más sensato.- y económico -, sería tratar de encontrar puntos comunes y convenientes para Venezuela y los EE.UU., dentro del respeto mutuo. Ya descubrirá, si el tiempo se lo permite, el Presidente Chavez que la ventaja de tener al gobnierno chino lejos no lo hace diferente del peor de los EE.UU. Los cubanos conocieron sus intromisiones interesadas, oportunistas y mezquinas en la década del 60, y la esencia del gobierno no ha cambiado. R.
