You misunderstood. I was reacting to the “counterintuitive” part.

China gets oil…at a higher price than the off-market rates they were paying to Maduro to buy his bootleg oil.

So yes. Their nuts, our rope.

Show me some proof they're charging higher prices to them, as they're constrained by who can refine heavy sour. Right now CITGO could and are we shipping to them and how much are we charging? That doesn't do anything to China's nuts as far as I can see, that appears to be all guesswork on your sources part.
