00:00China has urged the U.S. to stop using the narrative of a China threat as a pretext to justify its actions over Greenland, insisting that international law based on the U.N. charter must be upheld.
00:12Our correspondent in Beijing, Bruno Falsi, has the details.
00:14Greetings, comrades. I am in Beijing now to inform you this time that China condemns what it considers United States interference in other countries, promoting the law of the jungle and disrespecting the United Nations Charters.
00:34Following the invasion and bombing of Venezuela and the kidnapping of the President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Washington is now seeking to seize Greenland under the pretext of containing a supposed Chinese threat.
00:51Beijing maintains that these actions violate international law, infringe up each nation's freedom, to choose with who they maintain relations and threaten the stability of the Arctic, a strategic region for the international community.
01:10Let's look now to the words of the speakers of the Chinese government.
01:14China has stated its position on Greenland on multiple occasions.
01:20International law, underpinned by the purposes and principles of the U.N. charter, is the foundation of the current international order and must be respected.
01:28We urge the United States to stop using the so-called China threat as a pretext to seek selfish benefits.
01:33Along the same lines, the spokesperson Mao Ning affirmed that the rights of all countries to act in the Arctic must be respected and emphasized that the region concerns the international community and the China activities there aim for peace, stability and sustainable development.
01:55She also warned that the United States should not use other countries as a pretext for its own selfish interests, reaffirming the call for multilateralism and respect for the United Nations Charter.
02:12From here, from Beijing, the capital of China, we go back with you in the studios in La Habana, Cuba.
