A legal expert from a top Beijing think tank warned on Wednesday that the US has sent a dangerous message through its actions in Venezuela, calling on China to act decisively. He stressed the need for legislation to shield against the risk of external suppression and to protect technology and supply chains.

The remarks were delivered during a webinar on the US national security law framework, organized by Renmin University’s National Academy of Development and Strategy in Beijing.

The warning ties into broader geopolitical tensions, including US involvement with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The expert highlighted the importance of bolstering laws like China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law in response to potential pressures from the US and Group of Seven countries.

This development highlights intensifying US-China rivalry over global supply chains and technology, with Chinese experts advocating proactive legislation to defend national interests.
