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?
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
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.
yeah i mean like as much as we laugh about it the amerikkkan imperialist overlords arent completely stupid they still would notice more cargo ships going in and would sanction chinese banks in revenge like they've done recently with regards to russia
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.
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.
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.
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.
