MIAMI, United States. — The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded this Friday to the information published yesterday by the influential American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) about the supposed agreement reached with the Cuban regime for the installation of a monitoring station in the Caribbean country.
The statements were made by Wang Wenbin, spokesman for the Asian giant’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who assured that leaks of this type constitute “common US tactics.”
“As we all know, spreading rumors and slander is a common tactic of the United States, and it is patent for the United States to wantonly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries,” said the spokesperson, who said that he was “unaware of that situation”.
According to the news agency SputnikThe spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry also asked Washington to “reflect on itself and stop interfering in the internal affairs” of Havana.
This Thursday, the Cuban regime denied the information wsj through a statement reproduced by Vice Chancellor Carlos Fernández de Cossio. The text issued by Havana questions the veracity of the report and describes it as a “mendacious and unfounded” accusation.
The official communiqué points out that “slander of this type” goes along the same lines as “the acoustic attacks against US diplomatic personnel, the falsehood about a non-existent Cuban military presence in Venezuela and the lie about the imaginary existence of biological weapons laboratories.”
Contrary to the version of the Cuban regime and its Chinese counterpart, the WSJ assures that the information collected about the plans for the station in Cuba is recent and convincing.
The newspaper assured that in order to authorize the listening station, Beijing promised to pay Havana “several billions of dollars.”
