On January 5, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked about US President Trump's remarks relating to Venezuela. In response, Lin Jian said that America's blatant use of force against Venezuela seriously violates international law and the basic norms governing international relations, infringes on Venezuela's sovereignty, and threatens peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean. China has already condemned this. All parties should respect Venezuela's right to choose its own path of development, and push for the stabilization of the Venezuelan national situation and the return of local order to the right track.
