STAND UP VENEZUELA

The tragedy of Venezuela has left us a few thoughtful insights: 1. Maduro, the hypocrite behind the anti-American slogan, shouted anti-American, but put huge assets in the United States. This is the same as some sloganised "anti-American elites" - anti-American is work, but life is closely dependent on the United States. The closure of the country will inevitably lead to decline. Chavez and Maduro have long emphasised "self-closure", resulting in industrial stagnation and social withering. In today’s globalised environment, no country can stand alone. People’s heart is more important than "sovereignty". When the vast majority of people live in suffering, the words of "national sovereignty" lose their persuasiveness. The people are the real country, and the regime that loses the people’s hearts will eventually collapse.

委内瑞拉的悲剧，给我们留下了几点值得深思的启示：

1. 反美口号背后的虚伪

马杜罗高喊反美，却把巨额资产存在美国。这与一些口号化的"反美精英"如出一辙——反美是工作，生活却紧紧依赖美国。

2. 关锁国必然导致衰败

查韦斯和马杜罗长期强调"自我封闭"，结果是产业停滞、社会凋敝。今天的全球化环境中，没有任何国家能独善其身。

3. 民心比"主权"更重要

当绝大多数百姓生活在苦难中时，"国家主权"的话语就失去了说服力。人民才是真正的国家，失去民心的政权终将走向崩溃。
