New Trump-Xi Showdown Approaches As Chinese Tankers Press Ahead To Venezuela Despite Blockade
Two Chinese-flagged very large crude carriers are proceeding toward Venezuelan waters despite a U.S.-imposed blockade on sanctioned oil tankers, raising the prospect of heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over Venezuela's crude exports.

Shipping data published by Lloyd's List on Tuesday shows the Thousand Sunny is expected to arrive at Venezuela's Jose Terminal in mid-January after rounding the Cape of Good Hope empty in the southern Atlantic, Newsweek reports. The vessel, which is not subject to U.S. sanctions, has historically transported Venezuelan Merey heavy crude to China. A second unsanctioned Chinese-flagged VLCC, the Xing Ye, is currently positioned off French Guiana, awaiting loading at the same terminal, Newsweek said.

Uptick of more than 20% in 2025 was fuelled by share buybacks and helpful breezes in key constituent parts such as defence and miningBusiness live – latest updatesIt was a bumper year for stock markets globally and the surprise, perhaps, is that the FTSE 100 index more than kept up. The London market has sometimes been derided as lacking dynamism – the hedge fund manager Paul Marshall called it the “Jurassic Park” of exchanges a few years ago – but its main index enjoyed its best 12 months since 2009.
