China accuses US of destabilizing Asia-Pacific region
A Chinese military official on Saturday rejected U.S. allegations about Beijing’s regional behavior, accusing Washington of destabilizing the Asia-Pacific region.
China has strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order, which threatens to impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. from any country that imports oil from Venezuela.
Beijing labeled the sanctions "illegal" and accused the U.S. of grossly interfering in other nations' internal affairs.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun condemned the U.S. move, emphasizing China’s opposition to the long-standing use of "illegal unilateral sanctions" and "long-arm jurisdiction." He called on the U.S. to end its interference in Venezuela's domestic affairs, urging Washington to revoke its sanctions and take actions that would foster peace, stability, and development in Venezuela and beyond.
The new tariffs, which are set to take effect on April 2, will apply to all goods imported into the U.S. from any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, whether directly or indirectly through third parties. Guo warned that such tariffs would harm U.S. businesses and consumers, saying, “There is no winner in a trade or tariff war, and additional tariffs will only inflict greater losses.”
This latest move by the Trump administration is part of a broader strategy to increase pressure on Venezuela, whose oil exports have been a focal point of U.S. sanctions. China, a significant importer of Venezuelan oil, has previously voiced opposition to U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, calling for dialogue and diplomacy to address the country's challenges.
