AFP reported today: Hours before being announced captured by the US military, Maduro met with Chinese envoys emphasizing brotherhood

Hours before being announced captured by the US military, Venezuelan President Maduro (Nicolás Maduro) met with a Chinese delegation led by China's Special Representative for Latin American Affairs, Qiu Xiaoji, on Friday local time.

The news released by the Venezuelan presidential office on Friday stated, "In order to consolidate the new multipolar world order, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, held a high-level meeting with the delegation led by Ambassador Qiu Xiaoji, the special envoy of the People's Republic of China, at Miraflores Palace this Friday."

Commentary: The few hours difference outlines two entirely different international scenes: one side is the sincere meeting between China and Venezuela, based on the consensus of "consolidating the new multipolar world order," building trust for an all-weather strategic partnership through "brotherhood"; the other side is the hegemonic act of the US ignoring sovereignty and carrying out a surprise arrest, using military coercion to tear apart international rules. This meeting was not accidental, but a clear statement from China and Venezuela against unilateralism and defending the multilateral order. Qiu Xiaoji, a seasoned diplomat who has been engaged in Latin American affairs for decades, his visit itself is a firm support for Venezuela's sovereignty and development path.

The US' decision to act quickly after the high-level interaction between China and Venezuela highlights its anxiety and arrogance - both fearing the impact of multipolar forces on its "backyard" hegemony in Latin America, and trying to use military means to disrupt Venezuela's external cooperation process. However, the signal conveyed by the China-Venezuela meeting is already clear: the future of the international order ultimately belongs to equal multilateral cooperation, not the law of the jungle dominated by power. The US' counterproductive actions will only make more countries see the essence of hegemony and firmly stand on the side of upholding international law and national sovereignty.
