What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin said that since the beginning of this year, the United States has imposed unilateral sanctions on Cuban institutions and officials on several occasions, seriously violating the basic norms of international relations and also exposing the US's consistent bullying and hegemony.
China firmly opposes interference in the internal affairs of other countries and imposing unilateral sanctions under the banner of so-called "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights."
We firmly support the efforts of the Cuban government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and social stability.

We call on the United States to immediately and comprehensively lift the unilateral sanctions against Cuba in accordance with the purposes of the United Nations Charter and the basic norms of international relations, and do more to improve U.S.-Cuba relations and contribute to the stability of the international region.
