Oil is fungible. If America takes Venezuelan oil for themselves and doesn't let China have any, China will just buy more from Russia and the Middle East instead. There's no oil blockade to China, those ships aren't being stopped, and the minute such a blockade would be announced is the minute this 5th generation warfare WW3 turns into a 3rd generation war.
