It is in my opinion somewhat ridiculous that China watches this situation and does nothing significant. They could effectively end sanctions by themselves by simply commanding a few domestic businesses (with little exposure to western markets) to trade with Cuba. If the socialist countries will not support each other in times of crisis, who will?
i agree, China should be helping smaller countries way more, one of their bigger Ls.
China could start an alternative to the IMF for instance, one which doesn't force austerity for loans, the loans could be in Yuan
Yeah. They are already being accused of debt imperialism. Might as well just ignore the braying from the Americans who have no interest in being unbiased to begin with
They sort of do that when they build ports and stuff.
I’ll be honest there are a lot of situations that could be improved if China would fulfill their responsibility to the world
Feel like shit, just want her back
I've heard that this is more difficult than you'd think. If you look at sanctions against Venezuela, they were so comprehensive that you or your buyer get fucked before even getting close to a loophole like that.
My hope is that's what BRICS is gonna lead to.
To be fair we do not actually know what goes on behind the scenes. Theres a chance China has tried to do this and was somehow stopped by the US, or Cuba just didnt want to. Or maybe they do trade a bit but just dont talk about it publically.
Fair enough, but a public attempt at remedying the situation could earn China a lot of goodwill.
when I was as in Havanna a few years ago, like 90% of the cars on the street that weren't American classics to chauffer tourists around were Chinese made models I had never seen before.
The DSA has a new campaign for trying to get Cuba removed from the state sponsors of terror list.
Death to America.
I wish china tried to do something about this, they have the capacity
: "Lol, real gommie has never been tried!"
It's funny, we're all ready to hear out fascists but we can never help ourselves when it comes to sabotaging AES countries. If they're 'the enemy' then them going socialist MUST be the best way to beat them without spending a single penny.
Someone float that idea to Trump if he wins the next election.
It would be a tragedy if these sanctions resulted in what the US has wanted for so long.
Even if Cuba turned capitalist, it wouldn't help their current situation. The US wants full submission, like how it was Pre-1959. Even then, the US would not help at all.
