In a fiery UN Security Council session this week, China called on the United States to immediately release Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who were reportedly detained by U.S. forces during recent military actions in Caracas. The January 5 confrontation marks a new escalation in global power tensions. 💥
Sun Lei, China’s top diplomat at the UN, slammed Washington’s intervention as a "blatant violation of international law" and urged all nations to uphold the UN Charter. "Stop toppling legitimate governments through force," Sun declared, drawing applause from several Global South delegates. 👏
The drama unfolded after U.S. forces allegedly took Maduro into custody on January 3 – a move analysts say could reshape Latin American geopolitics. With China doubling down on its anti-intervention stance, this showdown highlights the growing divide between major powers in 2026’s diplomatic arena. 🌐⚡
