霸权撒野！特朗普下令永久没收中国油轮？原油捍卫之战

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. has permanently seized the "Century" oil tanker carrying 1.8 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, indicating a significant escalation in its interventionist policies against China's energy interests in Venezuela [1][5]. Group 1: U.S. Actions - The U.S. military has seized three oil tankers near Venezuela within just 11 days, targeting the oil trade between China and Venezuela [5]. - The U.S. is employing military means to disrupt the normal commercial activities between China and Venezuela, which are based on market rules [7]. Group 2: China's Response - China has firmly rejected U.S. demands and continues to purchase oil from Venezuela, emphasizing that energy security is a national bottom line that cannot be interfered with [9]. - China's stance is to protect its interests in the Venezuelan waters, asserting that if it can safeguard international shipping in the Gulf of Aden, it can also defend its interests in Venezuela [9]. Group 3: Implications of U.S. Actions - The U.S. actions set a dangerous precedent of using military force to interfere with commercial contracts, treating merchant ships as spoils of war [11]. - This behavior undermines the concept of maritime trade freedom, suggesting that if the U.S. can seize foreign vessels, it may do so globally, affecting international shipping norms [11].
