Venezuela has huge relations with Chinese companies providing hardware
Really? Show me the statements made by those companies. Just because the government buys a lot of Chinese Antminers L3 doesn't make them partners.
I haven't said they are partners. I've said that they have relations with Chinese companies providing hardware (Venezuela is a client in this case). That's been the case for a long time, also before the Petro. Mostly for their Canaima project (Venezuelan free computers for children and students) and also public transportation. Commercial relations with China and Russia are very strong.
Venezuela is the first country in the world that is creating mining farms for Bitcoins and regulating private miners.
