I knew it was a matter of time!

Finally. Following President Chavez on twitter has paid off.  His latest tweet is:

Ajáaaaa. Qué tal este lunes. Ojalá q bien para todos. Yo ahora voy a taller de trabajo con la delegación China visitante.Alta estrategia!!!

For non-Spanish speakers:

Ah! How's it going this Monday, I hope well for everyone.  Right now I am going to a workshop with the Chinese delegation that is visiting.  Yay Strategy! (Okay Alta estrategia only has a ring in Spanish).

Now for those who don't know, Chavez has been trying to forge this strategic relationship with China for quite some time.  The basis: a) an alternative to the United States with respect to investment, b) Chinese investments in Venezuelan oil exports.

I think this is funny because little birds in the diplomatic and international journalism circles claim that the Chinese dread working with Chavez because he's such a loose cannon.  Should be interesting how this turns out....

PS: Does he really need 200 people to manage twitter...you can only type 140 characters.  Just saying.
