China’s famous Fudan University, based in Shanghai, posted a report on the January 12 Emergency International Roundtable on Venezuela organized, as they wrote, by “the world-renowned magazine Executive Intelligence Review (EIR).” The Dean of the China Institute at Fudan University, Prof. Zhang Weiwei, spoke there “as the Chinese representative,” it reported.
“Nearly 20 senior political and strategic experts from the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa participated, engaging in in-depth discussions on the topic of `It’s Worse Than You Think: The Implications of the Attack on Venezuela and How To Bring the World Back from the Brink,’” the university reported. The names and titles of each of the speakers were listed, all of whom “strongly condemned the United States’ aggressive actions against Venezuela, considering it a blatant violation of international law based on the UN Charter and a serious infringement upon Venezuela’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
The university singled out key points of Professor Zhang’s remarks, starting with his warning that the U.S. actions against Venezuela “will inevitably backfire on the U.S. itself,” shaking its alliance system and “the so-called ‘rules-based international order’ long promoted by the West.” Alarm bells have sounded for American allies which for years “have blindly followed the U.S. in pursuing so-called ‘values-based diplomacy,’ instigating color revolutions in many countries under the guise of ‘humanitarian intervention,’ bringing immeasurable and profound suffering to the people of many countries around the world.”
