- How much is a boat worth, as long as no one is killed

Brothers, the geopolitical thunder has truly exploded this time!
Just now, the news has been confirmed: the second ship detained by the United States near Venezuela is of Chinese nationality! It is not carrying ordinary cargo—it's a full 1,800,000 barrels of Venezuela’s highest grade crude oil 'Merey 16', destined directly for China.
This far exceeds the significance of a single oil tanker. This is a blatant declaration, a direct collision of energy, finance, and great power rivalry. The enforcement by the United States around Venezuela is tightening, while China’s deep involvement in the 'sanctioned energy flow' has become the target. Oil trade is turning into a coliseum of power and pressure.
