Can Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez become a Latin American Deng Xiaoping?
AI Summary
The article explores the possibility of Venezuela undergoing economic reforms similar to China's under Deng Xiaoping. Following Nicolás Maduro's ousting, his vice-president, Delcy Rodríguez, hinted at launching a period of "reform and opening up," echoing Deng's approach after Mao Zedong's death. Rodríguez proposed revamped oil laws to attract foreign investment and closer ties with the US, despite past tensions. Some critics view this comparison as a PR strategy to soften Rodríguez's image, given her past role in Maduro's government. However, analysts suggest the Chinese model of economic reform without losing political control could be appealing to Venezuela's ruling party as they seek to overcome years of economic and social turmoil.
