In a bold statement at a regular press briefing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson declared that the U.S. should immediately lift its long-standing blockade and sanctions against Cuba. According to spokesperson Lin Jian, these measures, in place for over 60 years, have inflicted lasting hardship on the Cuban people.
Lin Jian emphasized that if the U.S. truly cared about human rights, it would first take a hard look at its own record on issues like Guantanamo and other global human rights concerns. He affirmed China’s strong support for Cuba in choosing a development path that reflects its unique national conditions and in safeguarding its sovereignty and dignity.
This call for policy change not only highlights decades of unresolved tension but also reinforces a broader appeal for respecting nations' rights to self-determination. The message resonates with those seeking a fairer global approach to international relations. 🇨🇺🤝
