CCTV news: According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered a reporter’s question on the escalation of sanctions against Cuba by the United States.
Q: It is reported that on May 1, the US President signed an executive order to expand the scope of sanctions against Cuba on the grounds that Cuba continues to threaten US national security and foreign policy. On the same day, the Cuban Foreign Minister stated that the United States' unilateral and illegal coercive measures are despicable and ridiculous and cannot scare the Cuban people. What is China’s comment on this?
Answer: The United States has intensified its illegal unilateral sanctions against Cuba, seriously violating the Cuban people's rights to survival and development, and seriously violating the basic norms of international relations. China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and security, firmly opposes interference in Cuba's internal affairs, and urges the United States to immediately end its blockade, sanctions and any form of coercion and pressure on Cuba.
