China vowed ongoing support to Cuba amid US threats and a possible naval blockade, with Havana conducting military exercises as a deterrent, officials said.
- China promised support to Cuba on Jan 27, pledging to provide assistance and continue offering as much help as possible amid US threats, Beijing said through official channels.
- This month, US pressure on Havana intensified as President Donald Trump warned that Cuba `is ready to fall` and urged Havana to `make a deal`.
- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Jan 24 supervised military exercises described as a deterrent, while reports warn energy is a strategic chokehold and Politico said last week the US considered a naval blockade to halt oil imports.
- China's foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Jan 27 China `expresses its deep concern and opposition to the United States' actions` and urged Washington to `stop undermining regional peace and stability` and to `immediately lift the blockade and sanctions against Cuba`.
- Beijing and Havana are longtime socialist allies, and weeks ago the United States removed Nicolás Maduro, whose Jan 3 capture in a bombing raid has heightened regional tensions.
