Please. China has killed more americans post WWII than any other country. Either coming over the hills in Korea, or supporting the VC.
Cuba would be transformed. Trade is a good thing.
No doubt. We cannot overlook the fact that Fidel tried to fire Russian missiles at the US during the US-Soviet confrontation. Had it not been for clear-thinking Russian technicians, this would have gone out of control and the Cuban island would be a cinder. We can wait till this monster is buried
China did not support the VC, Vietnam was a Soviet client. In fact, Vietnam and China had a short war in 1979. China did support the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, which had their government overthrown by Vietnam.
And what is the magic transformation that US $ would bring that hasn’t been brought by billions of Canadian $, English pounds, Japense yen, and Spanish pesetas?
Do you not undersrtand that Castro doesn’t want trade with the US — he wants access to billions in the IMF that he can’t get to unless we lift the embargo?
