BEIJING, December 22 (Xinhua) — The arbitrary seizure of foreign vessels by the United States constitutes a serious violation of international law, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday.

Lin Jian made the statement in response to a media inquiry regarding the US Coast Guard's seizure of a tanker carrying Venezuelan oil on December 20 local time, while a White House spokesman claimed the vessel belonged to the so-called "shadow fleet."

"China always opposes illegal unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council. We also oppose any actions that violate the fundamental purposes and principles of the UN Charter, infringe on the sovereignty and security of other countries, or constitute acts of unilateral bullying," Lin Jian said at a daily press conference.

He added that Venezuela has the right to independently develop mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries, and China believes that the international community understands and supports Venezuela's position in protecting its legitimate rights and interests. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) — China will impose temporary anti-subsidy measures on some dairy products imported from the European Union (EU) starting Tuesday, the Ministry of Commerce said on Monday.

The investigation was launched on August 21, 2024, following a complaint from the China Dairy Association and the China Dairy Industry Association.

The investigation was conducted in accordance with Chinese laws and WTO rules, the ministry added. -0-

Pyongyang, December 22 (Xinhua) — The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said it must prevent Japan from acquiring nuclear weapons, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.

According to the agency, citing a statement by the director of the Institute of Japanese Studies at the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan has demonstrated its intention to acquire nuclear weapons by crossing a “red line” that is unacceptable for a state guilty of war crimes.

The ministry said Japan was reviewing its military security policy, as evidenced by strengthening its preemptive strike capability, easing restrictions on arms exports and revising the "three non-nuclear principles."

This is not a casual remark, but a direct manifestation of the nuclear weapons plan that Japan has long dreamed of, and it is a direct challenge not only to the Japanese constitution, but also to all international law, which sets out the responsibilities of a country defeated in World War II.

"Such reckless remarks from a high-ranking official responsible for making security recommendations to the government prove that Japanese political circles are making efforts to obtain nuclear weapons and expose Japan's belligerent and aggressive nature in all its nakedness," the statement said.

Japan's past history of aggression clearly demonstrates that if it were to acquire nuclear weapons, Asian countries would suffer greatly and humanity would face a massive catastrophe, the statement said. It emphasized that peace-loving nations must resolutely restrain Japan's military ambitions.
