For real though, I take this as a piece of evidence that the PRC is exporting revolution. It is simply not in the form many of us imagined it would be.
This is a paraphrase of a comment that I posted on Reddit some time ago:
China certainly exports ideology. For example, the notion of "mutually beneficial win-win cooperation" as opposed to the "zero-sum game". These types of ideals serve as the foundation for China-Global South (South-South) cooperation to industrialize and modernize former colonized and developing nations rather than simply exist as raw material exporters. This way, they can finally pry the grasp of the imperial core on their holdings and become an independent, sovereign power. You could consider that exporting "revolution" or "socialism".
PRC managed to boil the capitalist frog alive it seems.
My main worry is how they'd react if one of their capitalist allies (like BRICS countries) had their own proper revolution including the whole "topple the current China-recongnised government with deals with China." I think it'd be within their economic and maybe geopolitical interests to be a bit wary of that, even if they have ideological solidarity with those revolutionaries. I wonder how something like that would turn out.
A very nitpicky thing I would like to add is that where the article mentions that Venezuela’s minimum salary currently stands at 130 bolívares (around US$5) is technically true, it's simply some bureaucratic and economic lie, the actual minimum salary is higher than that and close to something like 150/250USD.
So basically the CCP will own Venezuela and will re-colonise it in a few years.
Can you point to any policies that make you believe this will happen? Or are you just being racist?
Nothing to do with racism. The CCP is one of the most evil governmental forces in the world today.

're-colonize'? Are you ok, buddy?
Like, colonise again, on top of the Spanish colonisation.
