China has thrown its weight behind an emergency UN Security Council meeting following controversial U.S. military action in Venezuela this week. The move comes after American forces reportedly seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife – a development Beijing calls "a dangerous violation of international law."
🔥 Why It Matters: This confrontation could reshape global power dynamics as we enter 2026. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated Monday's emergency session must address what China views as "unacceptable interference" in Venezuela's sovereignty.
✈️ Flashpoint: The operation against Maduro – Latin America's longest-serving leader – follows years of tense US-Venezuela relations. China has been a key ally to Caracas, investing over $60 billion in energy projects since 2000s.
🌐 Global Repercussions: "This isn't just about Venezuela," a Beijing-based political analyst told us. "It's a litmus test for how major powers navigate conflict in the multipolar world of 2026."
📜 What's Next: China urges immediate release of the Maduros and cessation of "regime change attempts." The UN meeting could see fiery debates between permanent Security Council members as the world watches.
