“Recently, countries and individuals from various sectors in the U.S. have expressed their opposition to the U.S. blockade against Cuba.

The U.S. government must listen to the voice of justice and immediately end its blockade, sanctions, and all forms of coercion and pressure against Cuba,” said spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

The spokesperson reiterated Beijing’s willingness to work with all parties to support the island in safeguarding its sovereignty and national security, as well as in opposing external interference.

China has stated on several occasions that it will continue its “support and assistance” in the face of repeated threats from the United States, and condemned Washington’s pressure tactics, which “compromise regional peace and stability.”

A recent cultural exchange between Cuban and Chinese children and youth also served as a platform for international support for the Caribbean island in the face of recent threats from the United States.

In statements to Prensa Latina, Cuba’s ambassador to China, Alberto Blanco, affirmed that international solidarity with the island reflects its historical commitment to supporting other countries.

Gabriel Chan, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, reaffirmed the organization’s support for the “just struggle of the Cuban people against imperialism and hegemony.”
