Chinese Media on the U.S. Embargo on Cuba

Last week, I discussed the topical adversary Russia and its news coverage of the Brittney Griner sentencing. This week I wanted to discuss media coverage from China, another American adversary, and look at their perspective on the United States embargo over Cuba. 

An article on XINHUANET, an English printed Chinese media company, titled "U.S. embargo costs Cuban sports sector millions in losses"  outlines how it is difficult for Cuban athletes to participate in the United States for international sports events. This contributes to about fifteen million dollars in losses for Cuba. This is a Cold War-era foreign policy of containment for the United States and has been condemned by the United Nations. These sanctions are not just a relic, but an active anti-communist policy. It would make sense that the Chinese Communist Party would criticize such a policy and make America look like the aggressor. This embargo has caused numerous economic issues, and the international community is starting to take notice.
