China Condemns US Military Attack on Venezuela, Slams Capture of President Nicolás Maduro as Violation of Sovereignty and International Law
China has strongly condemned the United States over its reported military action against Venezuela and the alleged capture of President Nicolás Maduro, describing the move as a blatant violation of international law and an attack on a sovereign nation. In an official statement issued on January 3, 2026, the Chinese government warned that such actions threaten peace and security across Latin America and the Caribbean.
Beijing accused Washington of hegemonic behavior, stressing that the use of force undermines Venezuela’s sovereignty and contravenes the principles of the United Nations Charter. China urged the United States to immediately cease actions that violate other countries’ security and independence and to resolve disputes through lawful and diplomatic means.
The condemnation follows claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that American forces carried out a large-scale military operation in Venezuela, allegedly capturing President Maduro and his wife and flying them out of the country—claims made without supporting evidence. Reports of multiple explosions and blackouts in Caracas, particularly near key military installations, have further heightened tensions, fuelling speculation of a coordinated U.S.-linked operation amid an escalating standoff between Washington and Caracas.
