China confirmed on Tuesday that it opposes the illegal unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States Government (USA) against Venezuela and called for an end to interference in the internal affairs of the South American country.
The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, made the comments during one of his regular press conferences when asked about a statement published on Monday by the Venezuelan Government rejecting a US court-mandated auction of Citgo Petroleum Corporation, a subsidiary of Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA in the US.
