In response to the US's recent order to block all sanctioned tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yongqian said at a regular press conference on the 25th that China has always resolutely opposed the abuses of unilateral sanctions and so-called “long-arm jurisdiction” by the countries concerned, and arbitrarily intercepting other countries' tankers may not only disrupt the normal operation of the international energy market, but may also cause other safety risks. At the press conference, a reporter asked: The US recently ordered a blockade of all sanctioned tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, and has already intercepted three tankers. China is one of the main buyers of Venezuelan crude oil. What impact will this move have on the crude oil trade between China and China? What is China's Ministry of Commerce's response to the US move? He Yongqian made the above response. He Yongqian also said that it is normal, reasonable and legal for Venezuela to carry out economic and trade cooperation with other countries within the framework of international law, and that this right should be respected and supported.
