China Slams US 'World Policeman' Role After Maduro Capture in Venezuela

  • China opposes any country acting as a 'world policeman' or 'international judge' following the US operation in Venezuela and Maduro's capture.
  • Chinese envoy Yu Jing cited FM Wang Yi, emphasizing China's opposition to imposing one country's will on another and the use of force.
  • Beijing condemned the US military action and Maduro's detention as a 'clear violation of international law'.
  • China's foreign ministry demanded the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, urging the US to stop toppling Venezuela's government.
  • India also expressed 'deep concern' over Venezuela developments, calling for peaceful resolution and issuing a travel advisory for its nationals.

Why It Matters: China condemns US actions in Venezuela, warning against unilateral intervention and calling for Maduro's release.
