On October 21, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told the ministry’s regular press conference that China urges the United States to immediately stop its blockade and any other form of coercion and pressure against Cuba and stop infringing on Cuban people’s right to survive and thrive.
Her comment came two days after the US state of Florida’s Attorney General staged a grotesque and ugly political farce of issuing an arrest warrant for Cuban revolutionary leader Raul Castro. Mao responded by noting that Comrade Raul Castro is a venerated Cuban revolutionary leader held in high international esteem.
On October 29, foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that China again urges the United States to heed the just call of the international community and immediately end its blockade and sanctions against Cuba. Guo made the remarks at a regular news briefing after the UN General Assembly once again adopted by a large majority a resolution condemning the decades-old US embargo on the socialist island the previous day.
China again urges the US to heed the just call of the international community, immediately end the blockade and sanctions against Cuba, and cease coercing and pressuring Cuba through any means, including the use of force, he added.
