On Oct. 21 CHINA’s foreign ministry, responding to an Oct. 19 arrest warrant for
Raul Castro issued by Florida’s attorney general, urged the US to immediately
end its blockade and all forms of coercive pressure on Cuba, opposed misuse of
judicial measures to pressure Havana, said it supports Cuba’s sovereignty and
opposes external interference, and called for an end to actions that violate
Cubans’ rights to survival and development.
