Zero Hedge — China Slams White House For Latest Sanctions On "Close Ally" VenezuelaChina Slams White House For Latest Sanctions On "Close Ally" Venezuela

Shortly after the White House unveiled new sanctions last Friday against Venezuela while prohibiting U.S. trading in various bonds issued by the country (while exempting the notorious Goldman "Hunger Bonds"), Venezuela’s "close ally" China slammed the latest diplomatic crackdown and said on Monday that external interference and unilateral sanctions only make things "more complicated and will not help resolve problems."
Asked by reporters about the new U.S. measure, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China’s position had consistently been to respect the sovereignty and independence of other countries and not to interfere in their internal affairs. "The present problem in Venezuela should be resolved by the Venezuelan government and people themselves."
“The experience of history shows that outside interference or unilateral sanctions will make the situation even more complicated and will not help resolve the actual problem,” Hua told the daily news briefing.
Short version: China accuses US of meddling.
