US Has No Right to 'Judge' the World, China Declares
Share via WhatsApp
China has sharply criticized the United States, stating Washington lacks the authority to act as a global judge following the recent capture of Venezuelan opposition figure Freddy Guevara. The arrest, carried out by Venezuelan security forces, has drawn international attention and condemnation from some nations.
Beijing framed the US response as an example of ‘unilateral bullying’ and emphasized the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs. Officials maintain that no single nation should assume the role of a global ‘policeman’.
The capture of Guevara, a vocal critic of President Nicolás Maduro, has sparked debate about the political climate in Venezuela and the methods employed by the Maduro government. Reports indicate Venezuelans in Caracas are reflecting on the event as a potentially pivotal moment. The situation is further complicated by differing international perspectives, with some European nations adopting different standards when assessing events in Venezuela compared to those in Ukraine.
Former US President Donald Trump reportedly celebrated Guevara’s capture in a phone interview, highlighting the stark contrast in approaches between Washington and Beijing. The incident has demonstrably strained relations between China and the US, underscoring fundamental disagreements about international law and sovereignty.
