China Condemns U.S. Sanctions on Firms Operating in Cuba

The Government of China strongly opposes the expansion of U.S. sanctions targeting two Chinese companies due to their business dealings in Cuba. The Trump administration expanded these measures on Thursday to include foreign firms operating in Cuba's electronics, manufacturing, marine, and technology sectors.

China's Ministry of Commerce characterized the sanctions as "discriminatory" restrictions that damage the rights of local firms and undermine economic stability. Beijing urged the United States to reverse these practices and stated it reserves the right to take "necessary measures" to protect its national interests in response to the actions.
