China and Venezuela: A deepening alliance?

I found the following article very interesting especially in conjunction with the other post posted on the blog on Venezuela. This article was taken from Latinnews.com.

China and Venezuela: A deepening alliance?

The economic and diplomatic relationship between China and Venezuela has been deepening over the past few months, as this publication has documented. First China's president, Hu Jintao, stayed in Caracas during his tour of Latin American nations last November. Then Venezuela's president, Hugo Chávez, made an extended visit to China at the end of December - his third trip there since becoming president in 1999. And at the end of January 2005 Hu's deputy, Zeng Qinghong, made another trip to Venezuela while leading a delegation of Chinese businessmen around the region. In all, the two countries signed more than 25 cooperation agreements during this period, on a variety of diplomatic, economic, and strategic issues.
