This here is the powerful thing about China's approach to diplomacy.
Schemes like kidnapping Maduro to get Venezuela to do what you want is what's known as "阴谋" or hidden schemes. Their success critically depends on secrecy. What China is doing: Community of common destiny for mankind, is the opposite, it's a "阳谋" or open scheme. It doesn't depend on secrecy and its objects are open for everyone to see. Open scheme is a much higher level play than hidden scheme and cannot be foiled by among other things, exposing its existence.
