The Chinese Foreign Ministry called on the United States to immediately end its decades-long blockade and sanctions against Cuba, which it described as illegal and causing great suffering to the Cuban people, according to a statement circulated on Telegram.
The statement, published Wednesday via the source, reiterates China's longstanding support for Cuba in its confrontation with the United States. Beijing said it 'resolutely supports' Cuba in defending its national sovereignty and opposing external interference. The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. economic pressure on the island nation, though no immediate U.S. response was reported.
