Division Deputy Director Guo Xuejun reftel points urging
China to vote against or abstain on the annual UNGA
resolution introduced by Cuba condemning the U.S. economic
embargo against Cuba. Guo said the Chinese government would
review our points but that China's position on the resolution
is well known. In the past, China has always voted in favor
of the resolution and spoken in support of Cuba. This year
there will be no change. Guo also said that China will not
mention Cuba's human rights record in its explanation of vote.
