China reaffirmed its full support for Cuba against 'foreign interference' and the U.S. energy blockade during the 59-minute reporting window ending at 6:16 AM UTC on February 6, 2026, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi promising aid 'within its capabilities' in Beijing, according to EFE as reported by MundoEConflicto on X. Wang Yi's statement follows the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which cut off Cuba's main crude oil supplier, exacerbating the island's fuel shortages that triggered pot-banging protests (cacerolazo) in Havana's Arroyo Naranjo neighborhood between 3:46-4:46 AM UTC, as previously reported by journalist Agus Antonetti on X. No new protest activity or domestic developments occurred in Havana's Arroyo Naranjo or elsewhere in Cuba during this window, following the lack of events between 4:46 AM and 5:16 AM UTC, according to available sources.
