China has vehemently condemned the use of force by the United States against Venezuela and the crackdown on its President. According to a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, the United States is shocking the world with its gross violation of the sovereignty of a sovereign state.
Attacks by US military forces on Venezuela have reportedly led to the detention of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who were reportedly „taken out of the country“. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the US had successfully carried out a large-scale attack.
The Chinese spokesman stressed that the hegemonic actions of the United States seriously violate international law, threaten the sovereignty of Venezuela and destabilise peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean. „China firmly opposes this,“ the spokesman said, calling on the US to respect international law and the UN Charter.
