“While claiming to support the Haitian people, [the United States] has significantly cut foreign aid

and continued to deport Haitian immigrants under the pretext of national priorities, just when

Haiti urgently needs support,” Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the

United Nations (UN), said on Monday, April 21, at the Security Council. 

“What is even more shocking is that … they also recently extended their so-called 10% basic tariff

to Haiti, one of the least developed countries in the world,” the Chinese ambassador continued. 

Geng said China is deeply concerned about the “worsening crisis in Haiti and the rampant gang

violence, the near collapse of the state and the desperate situation of the people.”

The speech was made during a special session on the Caribbean country, where the special

representative of the General Secretariat for Haiti, María Isabel Salvador, presented a report on

the country, which has been suffering a territorial expansion of armed groups since January.

The imposition of tariffs was one of China’s complaints against the US at the Security Council.

Along with it, the Chinese representative criticized the Trump administration’s cuts in foreign aid

and the deportation of Haitian immigrants.
