Picture this: the UN Security Council on January 5 turned into a high-stakes showdown. 🔥
Sun Lei, charge d’affaires of China’s Permanent Mission to the UN, took aim at Washington’s recent military action in Caracas and delivered a clear message: “Release President Maduro and his wife at once,” and “stop toppling the Government of Venezuela.”
This isn’t just diplomatic drama. Under the UN Charter, using force to overthrow a sovereign government is off-limits. China is standing its ground, urging the US to respect international law and reverse course immediately.
So, what’s next? All eyes are on how the US and other council members will respond. Could this lead to a full-blown diplomatic face-off? 🤝
For young pros and activists tracking global politics, this episode highlights the power plays shaping our world—reminding us how crucial solidarity and the rule of law are, even when things get tense. Stay tuned as the story unfolds! 😉
