Venezuela’s Condemnation of US-Taiwan Arms Sale Signals Deeper China Ties
Venezuela has criticized the $11 billion US arms sale to Taiwan, aligning with Beijing's 'one-China' principle. Read about the geopolitical implications of this condemnation.
A voice from the Caribbean echoes Beijing. Venezuela has just stepped into the fray over Washington’s massive arms deal with Taiwan. Caracas issued a scathing rebuke on Monday, aligning itself firmly with China as tensions in the Taiwan Strait reach a boiling point.
The Impact of Venezuela's Condemnation of US-Taiwan Arms Sale
According to the Venezuelan foreign ministry, the US' approval of an arms package valued at $11 billion interferes in China's internal affairs. The statement, released on December 29, 2025, claims that the transaction breaches international commitments and threatens regional stability.
The deal stands as one of the largest in recent years, including advanced weapons systems designed to bolster Taiwan's military capabilities. It comes at a sensitive time, as the PLA (People's Liberation Army) recently kicked off military exercises around the island. Caracas reiterated that it views Taiwan as an "inalienable part of China’s territory," strictly adhering to the one-China principle.
Global South Alignments
While most countries don't officially recognize Taiwan as an independent state, Washington remains committed to supplying it with defensive weaponry. This latest stance by Venezuela highlights a growing trend of Global South nations siding with Beijing in geopolitical disputes to challenge US hegemony.
