China has stated that it cannot accept any country acting as the world’s judge, following the recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife by the United States. Beijing stressed that international law and national sovereignty must be respected, warning against unilateral actions that undermine global stability.

A spokesperson for the Chinese government said such actions could escalate tensions and set a dangerous precedent. China urged all nations to resolve disputes through dialogue, diplomacy, and lawful international procedures rather than through unilateral military operations or coercion.

The statement came amid global reactions to the US military operation in Venezuela. China emphasized that no country should take justice into its own hands or interfere in the internal affairs of another sovereign nation, calling for restraint from all parties involved.

Analysts note that China’s position aligns with its long-standing foreign policy of non-interference. Beijing’s response reinforces support for Venezuela’s sovereignty and signals concern over growing international tensions that could affect regional security.
