Beijing, January 6 (Xinhua) — China consistently advocates for all countries to respect the development paths independently chosen by their peoples and to uphold international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. This was stated by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday, adding that major countries should play a leading role in this regard, and no country can act as an international policeman or judge.
The Chinese diplomat made this statement at a regular departmental press conference in response to a question about the situation in Venezuela.
Mao Ning noted that on January 5, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting in connection with the US military strikes on Venezuela, at which the Chinese representative emphasized that military means are not a solution to problems, and the indiscriminate use of force only leads to even more serious crises.
“China firmly supports the Venezuelan government and people in safeguarding their sovereignty, security, legitimate rights and interests, as well as regional countries in maintaining the status of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace,” Mao Ning said.
According to her, the PRC advocates the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, takes seriously the legitimate security concerns of other countries, and supports the peaceful resolution of differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation.
China intends to work with all other countries to uphold the authority of international law, reject the application of the “law of the jungle” in international relations, oppose interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and jointly safeguard peace and stability throughout the world, Mao Ning concluded.
