Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over the routine press conference on November 28. During the conference, a journalist asked a question, stating: According to reports, the US State Department announced on November 24 that it officially added the "Sun Group" to the list of foreign terrorist organizations and imposed sanctions on "organization members," including Venezuelan President Maduro and other senior officials. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing firm opposition to the US designation of the "Sun Group" as a terrorist organization, calling it a ridiculous lie aimed at illegally interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs. What are China's comments on this? Mao Ning responded by saying that China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without international legal basis and without authorization from the United Nations Security Council. China also opposes external forces interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs under any pretext. The Chinese side calls on the US to lift its illegal unilateral sanctions and to do more things that are conducive to the peaceful and stable development of Latin America and the Caribbean region.
