China Criticizes US Warship Deployment to Venezuela, Receives Support from Caracas and Strengthens Strategic Alliance Amid Tension in the Caribbean

China criticized, on Thursday (21), the decision of the United States to send warships to the coast of Venezuela.

According to sources quoted by the Reuters agency, the measure is part of former President Donald Trump’s effort to confront threats from Latin American drug cartels.

During a press conference, the spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, stated that the country “opposes any action that violates the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the sovereignty and security of a country.”

She also emphasized that “we oppose the use or threat of force in international relations and external interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs, under any pretext.”

Appeal for Peace in the Region

Mao Ning added that Beijing hopes the United States “takes more actions that lead to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean.” Her remarks reinforced the criticism of the US military presence in the southern Caribbean.

Reaction from Venezuela

The Venezuelan chancellor, Yván Gil, responded to the statements and thanked the Chinese support.

He expressed “sincere gratitude to the People’s Republic of China for its firm rejection of US intervention in Venezuela and the threats of use of force.”

In a statement published on Telegram, Gil added that Beijing’s statements reflect solidarity with the country and strengthen the “unshakeable friendship with the people and government of China.”

Later on Thursday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro met with the Chinese ambassador to Venezuela, Lan Hu.

According to an official statement, Maduro highlighted advancements in areas such as economy, science, technology, and artificial intelligence.

The government also stated that the president emphasized China’s leadership on the global stage and reinforced Caracas’ commitment to the strategic alliance between the two countries.
