China will not allow third parties to slander its country's relations with Cuba, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, in response to the recent publication of the Wall Street Journal which, once again, assured that there are listening stations in Chinese military bases on the island.
Mao commented that he took note of what was published, and of the Cuban Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, on the lack of foundation of the report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), quoted by the U.S. newspaper, as reported by the Chinese Xinhua news agency.
"The alleged Chinese military bases have never existed, nor have they ever been seen by anyone," she reaffirmed, while denouncing the disbelief of the U.S. Embassy in Havana regarding the friendship, camaraderie and brotherhood between the two nations.
She also highlighted the close bilateral relationship, demanded the White House to stop intervening in the internal affairs of the island, and denounced the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S.
She also demanded the exclusion of Cuba from the arbitrary list of alleged state sponsors of terrorism.
