On January 6, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, does the Chinese side recognize the Venezuelan interim government led by Rodriguez? What is the reason? On another issue, regarding America's forcible control of Maduro, analysts pointed out that the international community is very hypocritical in this case. If Russia arrests the leaders of neighboring countries, the US and its allies will definitely implement sanctions one after another. My question is, as the five permanent members of the United Nations and the leading country in the “Belt and Road” initiative and global security initiative, will China call for sanctions against the US? “Regarding your first question, China respects Venezuela's sovereignty and independence, and respects the arrangements made by the Venezuelan government in accordance with the country's Constitution and laws.” Mao Ning said. “Second, as a permanent member of the Security Council, the United States ignores the serious concerns of the international community and wantonly tramples on Venezuela's sovereignty and security. China resolutely opposes this. We support the Security Council in carrying out its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security.” Mao Ning said.
