Nigeria following present US President
0:04
Donald Trump's threat of military action

over alleged killings of Christians. At
0:10
a press briefing, China's foreign
0:12
ministry stressed to Nigeria's right to
0:14
handle its internal affairs without
0:16
foreign interference. As a strategic
0:18
partner, China supports Nigeria's
0:20
government in leading its people on a
0:23
development path suited to its national
0:25
conditions and opposes any country
0:27
interfering in others internal affairs
0:29
under the pretext of religion or human
0:31
rights. Warning against using religion
0:34
or human rights as a pretext for

aggression. The Nigerian government

welcomed the support describing China as
