China urges US to stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs: spokesman

China urges the United States to stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs, abolish the unlawful unilateral sanctions against Venezuela, and act more in ways conducive to the peace, stability and development of Venezuela and other countries, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun at a press conference on Tuesday in Beijing.

Guo's remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order declaring that any country directly or indirectly importing oil from Venezuela would face a 25 percent tariff on trades with the United States, while China is a buyer of Venezuela's oil.

"The United States has long exploited illegal unilateral sanctions, imposed the so-called 'long-arm jurisdiction' over other countries, and gravely interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. China firmly opposes all these. We urge the United States to stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs, abolish the unlawful unilateral sanctions on Venezuela, and act more in ways conducive to the peace, stability and development of Venezuela and other countries. There will be no winners in a trade war and tariff war. Imposing tariffs on other countries will only make U.S. firms and consumers suffer greater losses," he said.

A Chinese medical team left China on Saturday heading for Ethiopia, where they will offer technological assistance and support to talent development in the country's healthcare sector over the next 12 months.

The 14-member team includes experts in clinical medicine, medical technology, hospital administration, and logistical support.

Mainly selected from the First Hospital Affiliated to the Army Medical University (AMU) in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the team members possess extensive experience in medical practice and management.

During the mission, the experts will help the country's military hospitals to enhance medical service capacity, promote the application of new technologies, strengthen hospital operations, train professional personnel, and support the establishment of healthcare management systems, thereby contributing to the improvement of local medical services.

"I feel deeply honored by this mission, and I'm fully aware of the responsibility it carries. We are committed to carrying forward the spirit of China's overseas medical teams, which features tenacity, dedication, commitment to saving lives, and love that knows no borders, and will apply our skills for the benefit of the Ethiopian military and civilians," said team member Guo Hao from the AMU.

Since 2015, the AMU hospital has dispatched 11 batches totaling more than 100 medical experts to Ethiopia.

Their efforts gave strong support to achieving notable progress in medical facility construction, and technological and talent development in the country's healthcare sector.
