China Accuses US of Violating International Law After Seizure of Venezuelan Oil Tanker

Source

China condemned the US for seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker, calling it a 'serious violation of international law.' The US claims the vessel was part of a 'shadow fleet' trafficking stolen oil.

PRISM Insight: PRISM Insight: The New Geopolitical Frontline Is at Sea This incident is more than a dispute over a single tanker; it's a physical manifestation of the US-China rivalry playing out in Latin America. The US is leveraging its naval power to enforce its sanctions regime, testing the boundaries of international maritime law. China, a key economic partner for Venezuela, is positioning itself as a defender of state sovereignty against American overreach. This confrontation could set a precedent for future conflicts over global supply chains and freedom of navigation, turning key maritime chokepoints into arenas for great-power competition.
