China Condemns US Action, Calls Maduro Arrest 'Bullying'

China has strongly condemned the United States’ actions surrounding the recent developments involving Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Describing the US approach as “unilateral bullying,” Beijing asserted that no country should position itself as a global ‘policeman.’

The criticism comes amidst heightened tensions between the US and Venezuela, following reports of Maduro’s arrest. China’s statement underscores its commitment to non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign nations. The country maintains that international disputes should be resolved through dialogue and adherence to international law.

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency session on January 5th to discuss the escalating situation in Venezuela. The international community is closely watching the unfolding events, with concerns raised about potential precedents set by the US actions. Some analysts suggest the move could embolden authoritarian regimes globally. Meanwhile, Venezuelans in Caracas are reacting to the situation, describing the weekend as potentially historic.
