China has publicly condemned U.S. pressure on Cuba, accusing Washington of violating international law and calling for an end to sanctions and the decades-long embargo. <\/p>\n
The comments echo Beijing\u2019s long-standing pattern of backing smaller communist governments it says face foreign threats, including Cuba and Venezuela.<\/p>\n
‘China is deeply concerned about and strongly condemns the U.S. moves, and urges the U.S. to stop depriving the Cuban people of their rights to subsistence and development, stop disrupting regional peace and stability, stop its violations of international law, and immediately lift its blockade and sanctions against Cuba,’ the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on X on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
The post was shared by China\u2019s embassy in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Beijing has routinely criticized U.S. sanctions policy, framing economic pressure on communist governments as a threat to regional stability.<\/p>\n
There is no naval blockade currently in place, though U.S. officials have said it remains an option.<\/p>\n
The escalation follows the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro earlier this month, a move that significantly disrupted Cuba\u2019s access to Venezuelan oil and triggered outrage from Havana.<\/p>\n
The operation and its fallout marked a dramatic escalation in U.S.\u2013Cuba tensions, with President Donald Trump declaring that Cuba would no longer receive oil or money from Venezuela \u2014 a move that severed Havana\u2019s longtime energy and financial lifeline.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel said his administration was not negotiating with Washington, despite Trump\u2019s threats to push Cuba into a deal now that Venezuelan oil will no longer be supplied.<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration is actively seeking Cuban officials willing to strike a deal that could facilitate regime change by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
In June, Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum tightening U.S. policy toward Cuba, reinforcing sanctions and travel bans, restricting financial dealings with Cuban military-linked entities, and enforcing the economic embargo.<\/p>\n
