China says it cannot accept countries acting as 'world judge' after US captures Maduro - Lemmy.World

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing cannot accept any country acting as the “world’s judge” after the United States captured Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro. “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,” Wang told his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar during a meeting in Beijing on Sunday, referring to “sudden developments in Venezuela” without directly mentioning the U.S. “The sovereignty and security of all countries should be fully protected under international law,” China’s top diplomat added, in his first remarks since images of the 63-year-old Maduro blindfolded and handcuffed on Saturday stunned Venezuelans.

That’s not from official statements, I believe, but what posters are saying on social media. China heavily controls social media, so it’s not a stretch to say that if the posts are not being removed en masse, then they tacitly approve.

They may just allow it to promote nationalism, even if they don’t have any intention of acting. Taiwan is certainly inching towards increasing danger since Ukraine, Gaza and now Venezuela has had minimal blowback. Russia has had sanctions but much less than required to hurt significantly.
