Venezuelan acting president touts technology transfer with China
(Xinhua)10:58, March 27, 2013

CARACAS, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Acting President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday touted the technology transfer between China and Venezuela during a visit to a Chinese-owned appliance complex.

Thanks to the efforts of late President Hugo Chavez and support and cooperation from China, the Haier industrial complex in Ocumare del Tuy, central Milanda state, was constructed, Maduro said.

There are more than 3 million Haier appliances in Venezuelan homes, including such products as televisions, refrigerators and air conditioners, he said.

The Haier complex has the capacity to produce 815,000 appliances annually, said Industry Minister Ricardo Menendez.

Noting the technology transfer and training of the Venezuelan workers at the Haier complex, Maduro said that 68 Venezuelans already have been trained in China's Haier Group.

countries like Venezuela rather than invading them. While the US runs around the world, angry, defensive, smearing and attacking anyone who has something we need or want, other countries are quietly signing business contracts, not wasting lives and money and their credibility on wars to get what they want. Benefiting themselves and their business partners.

I hope some wiser heads in this country will emerge before it is too late to start changing our foreign policies which sure haven't done much for this country. Or any other.
