It is Lee's first visit to China since assuming office in June. During his stay, Lee will meet with President Xi Jinping, their second engagement in just two months.

China is deeply shocked by and strongly condemns the United States blatant use of force against a sovereign state and action against its president, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Saturday following US military strikes against Venezuela. 外交部發言人於週六就美國對委內瑞拉發動軍事襲擊一事表示，中方對美國公然對主權國家動武並針對該國總統的行徑深感震驚，予以強烈譴責。 "Such hegemonic acts of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela's sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it," the spokesperson said. 發言人指出：“美國的此類霸權行徑嚴重違反國際法和委內瑞拉國家主權，威脅拉丁美洲及加勒比地區的和平與安全。中方對此堅決反對。” The spokesperson called on the US to abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, and stop violating other countries' sovereignty and security. 發言人呼籲美方遵守國際法以及《聯合國憲章》的宗旨和原則，停止侵犯他國主權和安全。 A...
The United States will take interim control of Venezuela after capturing President Nicolas Maduro and does not rule out deploying US troops on the ground, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the US strikes set "a dangerous precedent". "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," Trump said during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, hours after a US overnight attack on the South American country. A US occupation "won't cost us a anything" because the United States would be reimbursed from the "money coming out of the ground", Trump said, referring to Venezuela's oil reserves. Trump said American energy companies would rebuild Venezuela's broken infrastructure under US supervision. The president also said that the military operation against Maduro was not necessarily over, warning that the US stood ready to escalate if required. "We are ready ...
