The United States has brazenly resorted to the

use of force against Venezuela and demanded

that America First be applied when Venezuela

disposes of its own oil resources. This is a

typical act of bullying, a serious violation

of international law, and a grave infringement

on Venezuela's sovereignty that also severely

undermines the rights of Venezuelan people.

China strongly condemns this. I would like to

stress that the legitimate rights and interests

of China and other countries in Venezuela must

be protected. The United States has long imposed

illegal unilateral sanctions on Venezuela's

oil sector and has recently brazenly used force

against Venezuela, dealing a severe blow to

the country's economic and social order and

also threatening the stability of global production

and supply chains. China has already issued

strong condemnation in this regard. I would

like to reiterate that cooperation between China

and Venezuela is a cooperation between sovereign

states and is protected by international law

and laws of both countries.
