According to the South China Morning Post on February 2, in addition to continuing to accuse the Maduro government of corruption, Juan Guaido, Venezuela's "self-reliant president", in an e-mail interview with the newspaper, promised that all agreements signed with China in accordance with the law would be valid; if the previous agreements were approved and signed in accordance with the statutory procedures of the National Assembly, they would be accepted and respected.
He also said that China is an important participant in global affairs. China's support is crucial to stimulating the economic and future development of the Commission. He hoped to establish a "fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship" and was ready to start a dialogue with China as soon as possible.

This is the second time Venezuelan opposition has publicly "thrown an olive branch" to China.
On January 29, with the support of the United States, Gustavo Tarre, the special representative of Venezuela's opposition to the Organization of American States, made his first public speech at the Center for International Strategic Studies in Washington. In an interview with Phoenix Satellite Television on January 30, he expressed the opposition's desire to continue trade with China and said that Venezuela would continue to repay the loans legally signed with China in the past.
However, it is noteworthy that Geng Shuang, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stressed at a press conference on 29 January that China's recognition of Maduro as Venezuelan President has not changed. On February 1, Geng Shuang, when asked whether he had ties with the opposition, said that China maintained close communication with all parties on the Venezuelan situation in different ways and was willing to work with all parties to promote peace talks and work together to create favorable conditions for the proper settlement of the Venezuelan problem.
