Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela do not have official diplomatic relations, as Venezuela recognized the People's Republic of China in 1974, although unofficial relations were preserved through a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Caracas until it was closed in 2009.[1]
In the 2000s, increasing partnership between the socialist government of Hugo Chávez and the People's Republic of China has led to a downplay of relations between Taiwan and Venezuela. During the Venezuelan presidential crisis, Taiwan has been supportive of Juan Guaidó and the opposition-led National Assembly in what it says are its efforts to restore democracy and stability in the country.
