"A fraternal meeting that reaffirms the strong bonds of brotherhood and friendship between China and Venezuela. Through thick and thin!"
"We have never believed that any country can act as the world's police, nor do we accept that any nation can claim to be the world's judge."
"Those bonds will be put to the test now that the US president, Donald Trump, has upended the government of one of China's key all-weather strategic partners in Latin America, the term officially adopted in a joint statement signed by Maduro and China's president, Xi Jinping, in 2023. China has, unlike European countries, led the charge in condemning the US's actions in removing by force the head of a foreign state. China has also called for Maduro's release and backed a UN security council meeting, requested by Colombia, to debate Trump's decision to seize him."
Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro met a Chinese delegation hours before US forces seized him. China condemned the US operation, called for Maduro's release, and supported a UN Security Council meeting requested by Colombia. Chinese officials and commentators described the US action as imperialist and rejected unilateral policing or judgment by any nation. Chinese social media largely condemned the operation and suppressed celebratory content. China has deepened diplomacy and investment in Latin America and regards Venezuela as an all-weather strategic partner under a 2023 joint statement with China’s president, Xi Jinping.
