Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing cannot accept any country acting as the “world’s judge” after the United States captured Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
The world’s second-largest economy has provided Venezuela with an economic lifeline since the U.S. and its allies ramped up sanctions in 2017, purchasing roughly $1.6 billion worth of goods in 2024, the most recent full-year data available.
Almost half of China’s purchases were crude oil, customs data shows, while its state-owned oil giants had invested around $4.6 billion in Venezuela by 2018, according to data from the American Enterprise Institute think tank, which tracks Chinese overseas corporate investment.
If only they said the same about Ukraine and Taiwan
They did. The statement is “it cannot accept countries acting as ‘world judge’” meaning countries also cannot judge them, that’s exactly what China is claiming.
Americans don’t even know all the countries America has annexed in the past. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba. But you guys are obsessed with Taiwan. Free these countries first then have an opinion about Taiwan.
You are just full on CCP ain’t ya. Share your thoughts on Tiananmen Square.

Whataboutism. I can criticize the actions of past and present Americans AND criticize the actions of China. Bad things the US has done doesn’t give a free pass to China to do bad things.
It kind of does. It’s called shifting the overton window.
