On December 23, 2025, at the UN Security Council, Chinese envoy Sun Lei dropped a fiery call for the US to stop its anti-Venezuela campaign under the guise of fighting drug trafficking. 🔥
He pointed out that the US has ramped up military deployments in Caribbean waters off Venezuela's coast, tightened sanctions, threatened military strikes, and even sunk Venezuelan vessels—moves that have countries across Latin America and beyond seriously worried.
Sun noted that Washington has labeled the Venezuelan government a foreign terrorist organization and claimed its land and assets as US property. He emphasized that such actions infringe on other countries' sovereignty, violate the UN Charter, and threaten peace in Latin America. 💬
China opposes unilateralism and bullying, Sun Lei emphasized, urging the US to respect Venezuela's right to sovereign cooperation, lift unlawful sanctions, and uphold navigation safety under international law. 🤝
He added that Latin America and the Caribbean are a vital part of the Global South, and China is ready to work with the region to strengthen solidarity, uphold justice, and safeguard stability. 🌎
