China Backs Tinubu’s Govt, Warns Against Interference After US Threat Of Military Action

The Chinese government has stated that it firmly supports the President Bola Tinubu administration following the United States’ threat of military action.

The spokesperson of China’s foreign ministry, Mao Ning, made this known on Tuesday, while answering a question at a press conference regarding US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria over the alleged persecution of Christians. Ning described Nigeria as a comprehensive strategic partner and warned against interference in its internal affairs.

Ning said, “As Nigeria’s comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force”.

She also responded to the report that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is seeking military equipment from China, Russia, and Iran to prepare for possible attacks by the US.

She added, China has a clear-cut stance on the US cracking down on so-called ‘drug cartels’ by force in the Caribbean Sea.

“China supports the effort of combating cross-border crimes through stronger international cooperation, and opposes using or threatening to use force in international relations.

“We stand against moves that undermine peace and stability in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, and oppose unilateral and excessive ‘enforcement operations’ against other countries’ vessels. We hope the U.S. will engage in normal law enforcement and judicial cooperation through bilateral and multilateral legal frameworks.”
