CARACAS, Venezuela -- Opposition leader Juan Guaido has urged China and Russia to back his bid to govern this South American nation and pull their support for President Nicolas Maduro.

In an interview with Nikkei in the capital of a nation beset by hyperinflation, Guaido, president of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, said his new administration would offer "a possibility of a rapid economic recovery and investment."
