China has celebrated “the resumption of political dialogue in Venezuela” and asked the US empire to “completely” eliminate the “unilateral and illegal” sanctions…

    How are these illegal sanctions?

      By violating international law:

      https://www.isjq.ir/article_145298.html?lang=en

      According to Articles 1 (2), 2 (1) and 74 of the UN Charter, the imposition of unilateral sanctions violates the principles of the Charter, the principle of equality of states, the development of friendly relations and good neighborliness, and consideration of each other’s interests and well-being.

        Read those articles and explain how the US is violating them? Also, your article is in an unknown journal from a place without free speech.

        Edit: Love the downvotes from people not bothering to check the primary sources.“US is bad so they must be violating international law with sanctions”

          Daily reminder that when liberals say “freedom” they mean “of markets”

          “free speech” like prosecuting people for supporting Palestine, right?

            Are you insinuating that the United States has criminally prosecuted individuals purely for their support for Palestine? Any examples?

        How long has China been adopting the UN charter?

        This is news to me. I guess we can all forget about the nine-dash line from today.

          The UN Charter is the foundational document that the UN is built on. UNCLOS is a convention (one that, for what it’s worth, the US never ratified). The PCA is a non-UN body that’s sometimes used as an arbitration mechanism between two parties to avoid conflict.

          Do you have any grasp on international law, or do you just enjoy whataboutism?

            Doesn’t answer the question. When has China accepted UN charters?

              sigh

              don’t engage with idiots, don’t engage with idiots, don’t engage with idiots…

              I’d recommend you read a tiny bit into UN history and what the UN Charter actually is.

      Look at OP’s post history. It’s pretty clear they’re a tankie.
