The Chinese side urges the United States to immediately stop its blockade of Cuba.

On May 19th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiajun, presided over a regular press conference. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily asked, according to reports, on the 18th, Cuban President Diaz-Canel posted on social media stating that Cuba is facing military aggression threats from the superpower United States, and the threat itself constitutes an international crime. If implemented, it will ignite bloodshed and disrupt regional peace. Cuba has no intention of aggression towards any country, including the United States, but is facing multidimensional aggression from the US and has the absolute legal right to self-defense. On the same day, the US Treasury Department included 9 individuals from the Cuban Intelligence Agency on a new round of sanctions lists. What is China's comment on this? Guo Jiajun stated that China has always opposed illegal unilateral sanctions without international legal basis, firmly supports Cuba in defending its national sovereignty and security, urges the US to immediately stop the blockade and any form of coercion and pressure on Cuba, and stop violating the Cuban people's rights to survival and development.
