It will be interesting to see how China responds to this, after they recently elevated their relationship to an 'all-weather strategic partnership' (only DPRK is higher, iirc):
Doesn't seem to involve military support but I can't see China getting so close with Venezuela only to let the US take over.
China will do nothing, as they always do, that is probably by far on their number 1 list of things to adhere, non interference. Specially considering Venezuela is taking territory and it's not the other way round.
It would be surprising if China did intervene directly. Maybe it could mean support at the UN? Not that it means much.
Yeah, diplomatically I'm sure it will do the most it can, but supporting militarily any country in the US's backyard would be a declaration of world war.
