Currently, the Trump administration is considering military options against the Caribbean nation. On Friday, China urged the United States to immediately stop threatening the use of force against Cuba and to lift the blockade imposed on the Caribbean nation. China has stated its position on these issues on multiple occasions,” she said, adding that China will continue to firmly support the unrestricted defense of Cuban national sovereignty and self-determination. Her statement comes amid the U.S. oil blockade against Cuba, a policy implemented at the beginning of the year that has further tightened the economic blockade imposed for more than six decades. Cuban authorities have consistently denounced these hostile actions as a genocidal policy aimed at subverting the constitutional order through economic strangulation.
