China just told the US to back off Cuba.
Not directly. Not by name. But the message was unmistakable.
Two days ago at the UN, Vice President Han Zheng said the "relevant country" should "immediately stop using threat of force against Cuba and immediately and completely lift the blockade and sanctions." Everyone knew who he meant.
Then on September 28, marking 66 years of ties, Guo Jiakun said China would "firmly support Cuba in exploring the socialist development path suited to its national conditions and in safeguarding national sovereignty and opposing external interference."
The backdrop: since January the US has choked off Cuba’s main Venezuelan oil route and threatened tariffs on anyone still shipping fuel there. Blackouts followed. Some outlets have called it the first effective blockade since the Missile Crisis. Trump has said Cuba will "fall pretty soon" and talked about "freeing" or "taking" the island. Recon flights near Cuba have increased. Cuban officials say they are preparing for possible "military aggression."
No new aid, weapons, or oil. Just political cover, two days after the UN warning.
