China has demanded that the United States immediately cease interfering in Nigeria’s internal affairs. The sharp warning follows a military threat against the African nation made by former US President Donald Trump. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry declared, “We sternly urge the US side to immediately cease its wrong actions and not to interfere in Nigeria’s internal affairs under any pretext.” The official reinforced China’s firm stance on the principle of national sovereignty, stating, “China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, and we oppose any foreign force interfering in Nigerian domestic matters.” The confrontation was sparked by recent comments from Trump, who suggested the possibility of US military action in Nigeria. While the specific details of the threat were not provided, the remarks were significant enough to provoke a direct diplomatic challenge from Beijing. The Chinese statement also broadened its scope to include the issue of Taiwan, reiterating that the One-China principle is a fundamental foundation for relations between the two powers. “The US must strictly abide by it and not send any wrong signals to Taiwan independence forces,” the spokesperson concluded, firmly linking the dispute over Nigeria to the wider geopolitical tensions between China and the United States.
