所谓“强迫劳动”已成为美国打压异己的“完美借口”和霸权工具。美国相关举措是其对古巴60多年封锁制裁的延续和强化。中方反对滥施胁迫外交，敦促美方立即停止打着任何旗号对古实施封锁制裁，将古巴从“支恐国家名单”中移除，多做有利于美古关系改善的事情，多做真正帮助加勒比国家的实事。
The false narrative of “forced labor” has become a perfect excuse and hegemonic tool for the U.S. to suppress other countries. Relevant measures of the U.S. is an extension and escalation of its over-60-year sanctions and blockade on Cuba. China opposes coercive diplomacy and urges the U.S. to immediately stop the blockade and sanctions on Cuba in any names and to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, do more things that help improve relations with Cuba and deliver tangibly for the Caribbean states.
