The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answers questions regarding the United States' announcement of sanctions against the President of Cuba.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered questions from journalists on the 5th regarding the United States announcement of sanctions against the Cuban President. A journalist asked: On the 4th, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that the Cuban President, Diaz-Canel, and related entities and individuals, including Diaz-Canel's wife and stepson, as well as the son and grandson of Cuban revolutionary leader Raul Castro, were included in the sanctions list. Cuban President Diaz-Canel responded by stating that the U.S.' actions were aimed at strengthening the blockade against Cuba, and Cuba will resolutely resist imperialist aggression. The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the latest round of U.S. sanctions is an act of "economic aggression" and a pretext for taking more dangerous actions, including launching military aggression against Cuba. What is China's comment on this? The spokesperson said that the U.S. has escalated its blockade and sanctions against Cuba, openly naming Cuban leaders, once again exposing its hegemonic and bullying demeanor of bullying the weak with strength. China strongly opposes this. The stability of Cuba is a common expectation of the international community, and disrupting Cuba will ultimately backfire. China urges the U.S. to immediately stop its blockade and any form of coercion and pressure on Cuba, stop infringing on the rights to survival and development of the Cuban people. China will continue to firmly support Cuba in defending its national sovereignty and security, and oppose foreign interference.
