On January 5, local time, Ambassador Sun Lei, Chargé d'affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations, stated at an emergency public meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the situation in Venezuela that China was deeply shocked by the US side's unilateral and illegal bullying, strongly condemned it, and called on the US side to ensure the personal safety of President Maduro and his wife and release them immediately. Sun Lei said that on January 3, the US blatantly launched a large-scale military attack on Venezuela, forcibly controlled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and deported them, claiming that it would “manage” Venezuela, and did not even rule out carrying out a second round of larger military operations. The Chinese side is deeply shocked by the US side's unilateral, illegal, and bullying behavior, and strongly condemns it.
