Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China opposes any excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs

On February 25th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a routine press conference. A reporter from RIA Novosti asked whether China has any comment on U.S. Republican Senator Cruz’s statement on Tuesday that, within the next six months, the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran might be replaced by pro-American regimes. Considering China’s close relations with these three countries, what is China’s response? Mao Ning stated that China opposes interference in other countries’ internal affairs under any pretext and opposes any actions that violate the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and infringe on other countries’ sovereignty.
