Beijing Condemns Washington’s Policy Toward Cuba and Calls for an End to Military Threats and the Blockade. On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian rejected U.S. allegations about the presence of foreign military and intelligence facilities in Cuba. “The U.S. should heed the call of the international community and immediately cease military threats and any form of blockade against Cuba,” he stated, recalling that China firmly opposes “unjust” actions. It accuses the Cuban government of seeking to “undermine, degrade and destabilize” Washington through spies, soldiers, students, intellectuals and nongovernmental organizations. Havana has repeatedly denied U.S. allegations that Cuba hosts facilities belonging to Washington’s rivals, such as China or Russia.
