The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, said today, Wednesday, that Venezuela is a state with full and permanent sovereignty over its natural resources and all economic activities within its territory.
Mao emphasized during a regular press conference the necessity of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of other countries in Venezuela, including China’s interests, according to the Chinese “Xinhua” agency.
She stated that China strongly condemns the American military operation against Venezuela and condemns the American demand to apply the “America First” principle when it comes to Venezuela’s handling of its oil resources.
She added that the American step, which is a typical act of bullying, seriously violates international law, breaches Venezuela’s sovereignty, and undermines the rights of the Venezuelan people.
