China Condemns U.S. for 'Judicial Stick' Against Cuba at UN
At the United Nations in New York, China accused the United States of using judicial measures against Cuba, urging it to cease interference. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun emphasized support for Cuba's sovereignty. The U.S. did not immediately respond to the accusation.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun stated that China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and national dignity and opposes external interference. The remarks were made during a UN session, where China directly addressed the U.S. for its actions against Cuba. The Straits Times reported that China told the U.S. to 'stop brandishing judicial stick' against Cuba, while The Hindu provided a more detailed account of Guo Jiakun's statement. The two sources agree on the core message but differ slightly in phrasing and emphasis.
