A legal expert from a top Beijing think tank has warned that the US has sent a dangerous message in Venezuela, urging China to legislate against external suppression and to safeguard its technology and supply chains. He made the remarks on Wednesday during a webinar on the US national security law framework, hosted by Renmin University’s National Academy of Development and Strategy in Beijing.

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.

Keywords from the report, such as the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Li Honglei, suggest connections to national security strategies, though details are confined to the webinar discussion. With the Communist Party and Beijing in focus, the event underscores its significance within China.

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