China has reacted to President Nicolas Maduro’s capture, following a US military strike in Venezuela, which was oredered by President Donald Trump.
Their position was contained in a statement on Saturday signed by a Foreign Ministry spokesperson.
China claimed it was the use of “force against a sovereign state and action against its president.”
It added that America’s military actions “violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region.”
China, being the biggest buyer of oil from the South American nation, had declared their support for Maduro ahead of the US strike.
Maduro also hosted the Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Latin American Affairs Qiu Xiaoqi on Friday, a day before the US strikes.
