๐จ๐ณ XI JINPING: "Since taking office, President Maduro has led the Venezuelan government and people in pursuing a development path suited to their own national conditions, making remarkable achievements in national construction.
China and Venezuela are good friends that trust each other and good partners for common development.
China will, as always, firmly support Venezuela's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty, national dignity and social stability, as well as Venezuela's just cause of opposing external interference."

Xi Jinping praises Maduro's leadership in Venezuela, but let's look at the reality:
Human Rights Issues: Maduro's government has been widely criticized for human rights abuses, including political repression and arbitrary detentions. This isn't progress; it's oppression.
Economic Collapse: Under Maduro, Venezuela's economy has tanked. Hyperinflation, poverty, and a humanitarian crisis have forced millions to flee the country. That's hardly a model of national development.
China's Influence: While Xi criticizes external interference, China's significant financial support to Venezuela raises questions about its own influence on the country's sovereignty.
Election Fraud: Many Venezuelans are protesting against Maduro's elections lack of official results, showing a clear discontent with his regime and breaking any transparency the democratic process has creating a de facto coup d'etat.
