惠譽評級：無論中期選舉結果如何，美國財政壓力都將持續存在。

Oct 29 — Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular briefing that on Oct 28 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an end to the US economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba. Guo described the US blockade and unilateral sanctions as illegal, in place for 64 years and causing severe hardship for the Cuban people. He noted the General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved similar calls 34 times since 1992, reflecting broad international condemnation of US actions. China said it will continue to support Cuba’s defense of sovereignty and national dignity, oppose external interference and the blockade, and again urged the US to immediately cease the embargo, sanctions and any coercion or use of force against Cuba.
