Addressing the questions that since it has been one month since the US struck Venezuela and forcibly seized President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, how China assesses the current development, and what role China is playing in ensuring the release of Maduro and his wife, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that one month ago, the US brazenly carried out military strikes against Venezuela and forcibly seized President Maduro and his wife. Such hegemonic actions severely violate international law, infringe on Venezuela's sovereignty, and threaten peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean. China firmly opposes this. 

China supports Venezuela in safeguarding its sovereignty, dignity, and legitimate rights. It will work with the international community in firmly upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, adhering to the bottom line of international morality, and defending international fairness and justice, Lin said.
