"Hours after the US' controversial seizure of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro this weekend, China's Foreign Ministry stated Beijing was "deeply shocked" by the "blatant use of force against a sovereign state." The Asian nation also appealed to Latin American and Caribbean countries, calling them "good friends and good partners" and assuring them Beijing was willing to work with them and "navigate the changing international landscape with solidarity and coordination.""
"While criticizing the United States for attacking Venezuela, Chinese diplomats have also sought to portray their own country as a responsible global power.
