China Rejects US Sanctions On Venezuela Oil Buyers

China firmly opposes the move by the United States to penalise countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela with tariffs on trade with the US, the Chinese foreign ministry said.

The United States should stop interfering in Venezuela’s internal affairs and abolish the ‘illegal’ unilateral sanctions on Venezuela, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson at the Chinese Ministry, said.
