[The U.S. State Department’s new sanctions against Cuba involve Chinese companies. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Firmly opposed to illegal sanctions and “long-arm jurisdiction”] On November 6, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. An AFP reporter asked that the U.S. State Department has imposed a new round of sanctions against Cuba, including two Chinese companies that the U.S. accuses of supplying electronic equipment and security equipment to the Cuban military. What is China’s comment on this? Guo Jiakun said that China’s cooperation with Cuba is aboveboard. China firmly opposes illegal unilateral sanctions and so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and without authorization from the United Nations Security Council. China firmly opposes U.S. interference in undermining China-Cuba cooperation. China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and opposes external interference. All necessary measures will be taken to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic enterprises. (The Paper)
