China was willing to loan Venezuela a lot of money because they were to be paid back in oil.  They don't care about the ideology of the government there, they care about getting resources.  This is more or less the prototype of the Belt and Road Initiative, in which the CCP has been arranging lavish loans for infrastructure projects in many third-world countries that have no hope of paying them back and then the debt is 'forgiven' in exchange for turning over the use and control of infrastructure or resources the infrastructure allows access to.

There are airfields and ports that have been converted into Chinese military bases all over Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Incidentally, wasn't there a huge scandal with the NYPD (which might go back to Serpico's time there) where the drug unit was busting dealers, taking the money and drugs, and then dealing in their place?  (Doing this in uniform, on duty.  It must be wonderful to be able to run a raid off the books like that.  I suspect is ended messily for the dealers, since they'd know what was going on and the DEA would doubtless have loved to come up with a crew of dirty local cops.)
