Chinese President Xi Jinping said major powers should take the lead in respecting the development path of other nations in a veiled swipe at the United States for raiding Venezuela and taking its president, Nicolas Maduro, to New York.
Xi made the remarks, which add to Beijing's earlier criticism of Washington's attacks on Venezuela, when meeting visiting Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin on Monday.
"The world today is undergoing changes and turbulence not seen in a century, with unilateral acts of hegemony severely undermining the international order," Xi said, according to a statement by China's foreign ministry.
