China tells US to ‘stop brandishing judicial stick’ against Cuba

China told the United States on Thursday to “stop brandishing the judicial stick” against Cuba on Thursday, after Washington indicted the Caribbean island’s former leader Raul Castro on murder charges.

“The US side should stop brandishing the sanctions stick and the judicial stick against Cuba and stop threatening force at every turn,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a press briefing, when asked about the US charges.
