1月7日,美国欧洲司令部宣布,其在北大西洋公海海域扣押了一艘悬挂俄罗斯国旗、名为“水手”号(原名“贝拉1号”)的油轮。其理由是该船“同委内瑞拉相关”,涉嫌违反美方制裁。对此,中国外交部发言人毛宁8日表示,美方在公海海域随意扣押他国船只,严重违反国际法。中方一贯反对缺乏国际法依据、未经联合国安理会授权的非法单边制裁,反对任何违反《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则、侵犯别国主权安全的行径。
When President Trump announced on January 3, 2026 that the US had used military force against Venezuela and captured its sitting president, Nicolas Maduro, followed by the initiation of criminal proceedings against him under US domestic law, the episode marked a dramatic escalation in the tension between power politics and international legal constraint: The arrest and prosecution of a sitting head of state by a foreign power represents one of the most legally and politically extreme scenarios contemplated by modern international law. It implicates not only questions of individual criminal responsibility, but also the foundational principles upon which the post1945 international legal order rests: sovereign equality, the prohibition on the use of force, nonintervention, and the supremacy of international law over unilateral domestic action.

Over the past year, China directed much of its diplomatic efforts to championing the postwar international order as it celebrated the 80th anniversaries of the victory in World War II, the founding of the United Nations and Taiwan's restoration to China.
1月3日,美国总统特朗普证实美军对委内瑞拉发动大规模军事打击并抓捕在任总统马杜罗夫妇。随后,美国司法部又宣布以美国国内法对马杜罗及其夫人提起刑事指控。至此,美国长期宣扬的“基于规则的国际秩序”彻底露出真实面目——“规则”仅对美国之外的国家具有约束力。当其符合美国利益时,可以作为施压他国或攻讦敌手的工具;但当其与美国利益有冲突时,即被视作随时可丢弃或任意撕毁的废纸。
在百年变局加速演进的背景下,2025年的世界依旧被不确定性所笼罩。在南海区域,尽管菲律宾不断引入域外军事力量介入南海,持续展开挑衅行动推高海上安全风险,大肆制造南海虚假叙事误导国际认知,但南海整体局势总体稳定可控。
过去十年来,我持续对南海局势进行年度观察。正如我在2024年底预判的那样,2025年南海区域和平稳定的总体态势没有发生根本逆转,但局部性、阶段性的动荡与摩擦显著增多,形势趋于复杂,主要归结于三方面动因:
谈起全球气候变化形势有多严峻,中国气候变化事务特使、联合国前副秘书长刘振民有很多话想说。“气候变化已经发生了。”在近日接受中青报·中青网记者专访时,这位多年来一直为中国气候外交奔走的外交官,多次重复这句话。
