China Urges US to End 'Unjust' Blockade Against Cuba

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, has strongly echoed international sentiment, demanding that the United States heed the growing chorus of voices, both globally and within the U.S. itself, calling for an immediate end to the long-standing economic blockade against Cuba. This firm stance by Beijing highlights a shared opposition to unilateral sanctions and coercive measures, framing the U.S. policy as unjust and detrimental.

Guo Jiakun emphasized that diverse sectors within American society are also voicing their opposition to this policy. This international solidarity, extending from Latin American nations like Brazil and Mexico to European countries like Spain, and including support from Russia, underscores the widespread condemnation of the U.S. blockade. China's consistent support for Cuba is presented not just as diplomatic backing, but as a principled stand for national sovereignty and the right of nations to self-determination, free from external pressure.

Furthermore, China has reiterated its readiness to deepen collaboration with Cuba across various fields. This commitment, rooted in mutual respect and cooperation, positions China as a key partner for Cuba's development. From Beijing's perspective, the U.S. blockade represents an outdated and illegitimate policy that hinders Cuba's progress and contradicts the principles of international relations. China's consistent advocacy against such measures reflects its broader foreign policy objectives and its role as a champion for developing nations facing external economic pressures.

The U.S. government must listen to this just voice and immediately end the blockade, sanctions, and any form of coercion or pressure against Cuba.
