China expresses full support to Cuba in its right to defend its national sovereignty, and it rejects any interference in its internal affairs, said Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin on November 12.

According to Wang Wenbin, China condemns the policy of the United States of imposing sanctions and interfering with internal affairs of other countries under the guise of protecting freedom and democracy.

The PRC spokesperson said that his country joins the countries and organizations which reject subversive policy and demonstrative calls to interfere with Cuba’s affairs. He demanded that the United States should stop the economic, financial, and trade blockade of the island.

Over the recent months, the Chinese authorities have repeatedly expressed China’s solidarity with Cuba, which is experiencing a hard period, and they expressed their commitment to contribute to the strengthening of friendship and relations between the two socialist countries. Also, the PRC sent to Cuba several packages of aid with medicines and up to 5,000 tons of rice.

On November 11, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called illegal the protest march planned by the opposition for November 15. According to Rodriguez, the activists of this march are organized and funded by the USA, and Cuba will defend its sovereignty and public order.

Previously, US officials spoke about potential new sanctions against Cuba if the authorities persecute the organizers of the march.
