China calls for the "immediate" release of Maduro and accuses the US of violating international law
The spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry has warned that the use of force by Washington poses a danger to peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean.
China on Monday expressed its "serious concern" about the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife by the United States and accused Washington of violating international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian has warned that the use of force by Washington poses a danger to peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Lin has said that Washington's action "clearly violates the basic rules governing international law and international relations" and also "violates the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations".
In this regard, it has accused the United States of making "blatant use of force" against a sovereign country and of committing, according to Beijing, "acts that undermine Venezuela's sovereignty."
The spokesman has stressed that these actions "threaten peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean", a region considered by China as a "peace zone", and has reiterated his country's disagreement with the threat of the use or use of force in international relations, as well as those described as "hegemonic persecution".
For his part, the son of Venezuelan President Nicolás Ernesto Maduro has sent a message to the population to mobilize against the attack and has advocated working to bring his father "safe and sound." "We are fine, we are calm. They will see us in the street, next to this people," he said, stressing that popular mobilization must be "raising the flags of dignity" and rejecting any perception of weakness. "
