In September, the Caribbean Sea has high winds and rapid waves. Eight US warships were in the middle of the shore, nuclear submarines were dormant under the water, and fighter planes roared and hovered - under Trump's "drug-proof" order, 4,000 Marines rushed straight to Venezuela. They even sank the so-called "venomous ship", and eleven lives disappeared instantly. Maduro angrily rebuked: "Naked invasion!" The country immediately entered the highest combat readiness, and eight million militia were on high alert. The smell of gunpowder permeates Latin America.
At this moment of tension, on September 9, a giant white ship slowly approached the Venezuelan port. That is China's "Silk Road Ark". The Ministry of National Defense announced that this "Harmony Mission-2025" mission will last for two weeks. Before this, Chinese reconnaissance ships had arrived outside Venezuela.
China's "Silk Road Ark"
It is no accident that the "Silk Road Ark" chooses to appear at this time. The ship is equipped with sixty types of surgical equipment, fourteen medical teams, and ambulance helicopters. The officers and soldiers quickly launched free medical consultations, from children's dentistry to the elderly's internal medicine, and received more than a thousand people in a day. Venezuelans filled the docks, and someone excitedly posted: "China is here, we are at ease!" This push instantly triggered social networks. What is quite contrasting is that the US ship missile is cold and shining not far away.
Latin American countries have long seen through Washington's script. The Mexican president pointed out: "Disease drug? A bad excuse!" The Colombian Foreign Ministry publicly questioned: "It was clearly for oil and a coup." The 21 foreign ministers of the Latin American Community jointly spoke out, denounced the United States to "destroy regional stability" and emphasized that "Latin America is not anyone's backyard." The Brazilian media wrote meaningfully: China is rewriting the geopolitical chess game in a gentle and firm way.
Although the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeatedly emphasized that "this action is a manifestation of fulfilling international humanitarian obligations and has nothing to do with the regional situation", everyone can understand the profound meaning behind the action. This is the second time that the "Harmony Mission" has entered Venezuela. Seven years ago, the Peace Ark had a free medical consultation here, winning cheers; now the new generation of hospital ships is not only larger in scale, but also equipped with top medical technology, which quietly conveys strategic signals while treating diseases and saving lives.
U.S. warship
The US military is not without actions. The F-35 aircraft fleet transitioned to Puerto Rico, and the amphibious fleet simulated landing exercises, and the reconnaissance ships always cruised in the outer seas. But Venezuela is not showing any weakness: F-16 fighter jets crossed the deck of the US ship at a very low altitude, and the night training video of militia rainforest spread across the Internet. Maduro firmly declared on TV: "The whole nation resists the war and defends sovereignty to the death!" On social media, a hot comment was crazily forwarded: "If the American soldiers dare to land, first taste the taste of rainforest mosquitoes and guerrilla warfare."
In a sword-like shadow, the pure white hospital ship was still bright day and night. The lights in the operating room reflect the figures of medical staff in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China fighting together, and the national flags of the two countries are flying on the deck. A local nurse said with emotion: "This is the real warmth in despair." Many Latin American netizens pointed out sharply: "Missiles can only create fear, while drugs and sincerity can win people's hearts."
Venezuelan President Maduro
China seems to never take the initiative to ignite the war, but it can always break the situation by unexpectedly. Medical diplomacy seems soft, but in fact it is like a needle hidden in a cotton pad, which not only eases the situation and also shows its existence. Some observers bluntly said: The wisdom of the East is to use a hospital ship to constrain a fleet and use angels in white to hedge missile submarines, which is exactly the most difficult trick for Western hegemony to deal with.
The Caribbean Sea is currently turbulent on the surface and the undercurrent is surging. The medical ship is still receiving treatment, the US military has not withdrawn, and Maduro still holds the steel gun tightly. But everyone knows that the message China conveys is very clear. Latin America is not the "backyard" of the United States, nor is it the experimental site for military experiments.
