Chinese Mainland Demands U.S. Free President Maduro Immediately

¡Hola, amigos! 🌎 On January 5, 2026, at a UN Security Council meeting, the Chinese mainland delivered a bold call to the U.S.: release President Maduro and his wife at once, and stop any attempts to topple Venezuela's government.

Sun Lei, charge d'affaires of the Chinese mainland's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, pushed back against Washington's actions, emphasizing respect for the UN Charter and opposing the use of force.

Just two days earlier, on January 3, U.S. forces had taken President Maduro and his wife into custody, escalating tensions in the Americas. Now, the Chinese mainland is urging their immediate release and a halt to interference in Venezuela's domestic affairs.

This standoff shows how global powers are flexing their influence on the world stage. With the UN Charter in the spotlight, all eyes are on whether the U.S. will respond or dig in its heels. Stay tuned for more updates! 🕊️
