China reaffirmed its unwavering geopolitical stance toward Cuba this Monday. Marking the 66th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Caribbean nation. During a press conference, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made it clear that Beijing maintains its firm support for Havana. Remaining impervious to global changes and pressures from third parties.
“Regardless of how the international landscape evolves, China will, as always, firmly support Cuba in exploring a path of socialist development suited to its national conditions. Also it will steadfastly back it in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposing external interference,” he said.
The official explained that this unconditional support stems from a historic friendship between the two nations that “has been passed down from generation to generation” for over six decades. He also highlighted that in recent years, under the strategic guidance of the heads of state of both countries. “The building of a China-Cuba community with a shared future has deepened and become more concrete.”
Moreover the statement follows remarks made last Saturday by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng before the UN General Assembly. In which he urged “the country in question”—referring to the U.S.—to “immediately cease the use of the threat of force against Cuba”. Also to “immediately and completely lift the blockade and the imposed sanctions.”
U.S. blockade against Cuba
The U.S. has maintained an economic and commercial blockade against Cuba for more than six decades. The embargo, which severely impacts the country’s economy, has now been reinforced with numerous unilateral coercive measures.
-On January 29th, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a “national emergency”. In response to the alleged “unusual and extraordinary threat” that—according to the White House—Havana poses to the security of the United States and the region. The document accuses the Cuban government of aligning with “numerous hostile countries.” Harboring “transnational terrorist groups,” and allowing the deployment of “sophisticated military and intelligence capabilities” from Russia and China on the island.
-On these grounds, the imposition of tariffs was announced for countries selling oil to the Caribbean nation. Alongside threats of retaliation against those acting in defiance of the White House executive order.
-Havana has consistently rejected these accusations and warned that it will defend its territorial integrity. President Díaz-Canel denounced the move, stating that “this new measure reveals the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of a clique that has hijacked the interests of the American people for purely personal ends.”
-On March 7th, Trump declared that “a big change is coming soon to Cuba,” and that the country is reaching “the end of the road.”
-On September 25th, CBS News reported that the U.S. military is preparing for possible military action against Cuba.
-The following day, Trump ruled out the possibility of a military operation. Stating that he simply wants to “open up” the island to its people.
