US attacks on Venezuela have raised concerns in the international arena.

China, through a statement made by the Foreign Ministry, has condemned the United States' attacks on Venezuela.

China strongly condemns what it calls the US's flagrant use of force against a sovereign state.

"China is deeply shocked and strongly condemns the flagrant use of force by the US against a sovereign state and the actions against its president (Nicolás Maduro)," the ministry spokesman said in a post on the social network 'X'.

"Such hegemonic acts by the US seriously violate international law and the sovereignty of Venezuela and threaten peace and security in the Latin America and Caribbean region. China firmly opposes this. We call on the US to respect international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and stop violating the sovereignty and security of other countries ," he added.

The French Foreign Ministry has also reacted sharply: " The removal of Maduro from power and the violation of sovereignty constitute a serious act of aggression against the dignity of the Venezuelan people and their right to determine their own future."

Maduro's arrest violates the principle of non-use of force under international law.

"No sustainable political solution can be imposed on Venezuela from outside; only the Venezuelan people can decide their future."
