Beijing: China has issued a stern warning to the United States, demanding an immediate halt to what it describes as pressure tactics and threats against Cuba. A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated unequivocally that Beijing stands firmly beside Havana against any form of external interference.
The Chinese spokesperson declared that Cuba is a sovereign nation with the full and independent right to determine its own internal affairs and foreign policy. The spokesperson condemned the use of economic coercion and political intimidation as tools of foreign policy, calling such actions a clear violation of international law and the principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
China and Cuba share decades of close diplomatic, economic, and ideological ties rooted in their shared opposition to what both governments describe as Western imperialism. In recent years, Beijing has significantly expanded trade and investment with Havana, a development that Washington views with growing concern as Chinese influence extends closer to American shores.
Analysts suggest that China’s strongly worded statement carries a dual message — one of solidarity with Cuba and another as a broader signal to Washington that Beijing will not remain silent as the United States applies pressure on countries within China’s sphere of diplomatic partnerships.
