China will, as always, provide assistance and help to Cuba to the best of its ability, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
Lin made the remarks in response to a media inquiry about what form of assistance China would provide to Cuba amid fuel shortages.
"China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security, opposes external interference, and resolutely condemns any act and inhumane behavior to deprive the Cuban people of their rights to survival and development. China will, as always, provide support and assistance within its capacity to Cuba. As for the specific content of the assistance, it is recommended to consult with the competent authorities. I believe this also requires the two sides to negotiate through bilateral channels," he reiterated.

A Chinese mainland spokeswoman on Wednesday denounced Taiwan authorities led by Lai Ching-te for ignoring the heinous crimes committed by Japan during its colonial rule over Taiwan, describing their flattering remarks toward Japan as utterly disgraceful.
Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks at a press conference in response to a media inquiry about Lai's intention to work with Japan to "deal with regional challenges."
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated its position on Japan's Lower House election. We demand the Japanese side fully recognize the highly sensitive nature of the Taiwan question, strictly adhere to the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, retract Takaichi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan, handle Taiwan-related matters with caution, and uphold the one-China principle with concrete actions. The Lai Ching-te authorities disregard the heinous crimes committed by Japan during its colonial rule over Taiwan and instead use this chance to spread fallacy to please Japan. Their servile and obsequious behavior is truly disgraceful," she said.
