China has strongly criticized the recent United States capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and made it clear that it will not accept any country acting as the world’s police or judge. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed Beijing’s firm stance after Maduro was detained and brought to New York to face drug-related charges in a U.S. court. The Express Tribune
In his remarks, Wang Yi emphasized that every nation’s sovereignty, independence, and security must be fully respected and protected under international law. He stated that China does not accept any country imposing its will on others or taking actions that interfere with internal affairs without broad global agreement. CNA
China follows a non‑intervention policy and has consistently opposed unilateral military interventions that bypass the United Nations Security Council. Beijing views the capture of Maduro, a long‑time partner, as a serious challenge to these principles and a potential precedent that could undermine global stability. The Business Standard
Beijing’s response comes amid widespread international debate over the legality and impact of the U.S. operation. Critics argue that such actions could weaken trust among nations and increase geopolitical tensions. China has called on all countries to resolve disputes through dialogue, mutual respect, and established international frameworks rather than through unilateral force. The Business Standard
China’s strong diplomatic reaction reflects its broader goal of promoting a multipolar world order where no single country dominates global affairs.
