The Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed on Tuesday that the United States was single-handedly responsible for all woes that Cuban people suffer under communism and asserted Beijing “stands ready to work with Cuba,” presumably to suppress the nationwide protests that began this weekend.
Cuba is a member of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an infrastructure debt trap program run by the Communist Party of China, and is one of Beijing’s oldest allies. Both countries are members of the United Nations Human Rights Council and energetically defend themselves in that venue against the overwhelming evidence of human rights atrocities committed by their respective regimes.
Protests erupted in at least 20 municipalities throughout Cuba on Sunday calling for an end to the 62-year communist rule people have endured there. While Cuban dissident organizations have invested decades in organizing civil society to demand respect for their basic civil rights, plans to challenge the regime accelerated this year as groups organized conventions to plan a transition out of communism and focused attempting on recruiting pop stars and other artists to the cause. Chronic food shortages and a collapsed healthcare system, hallmarks of all communists regimes, exacerbated the need for protests during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, the official responsible for the discredited conspiracy theory that the Chinese coronavirus originated in a U.S. Army laboratory, issued the first comment from the Chinese government on the ongoing protests in Cuba on Tuesday.

They are also telling us, if we mess with Taiwan
Zhou Bai Deng agrees.
Interesting move by the ChiComs. Seems that they sense a buying opportunity here. The Castroites need friends right now, and the ChiComs certainly have the cash to do a sort of leveraged buyout of the country. I’m sure they’d love to have the island as a base of operations in the Caribbean.
Race riots across the country, a stolen election, Communist coup in Cuba nearly overthrown by America lovers and a lack of American support is gonna screw it up. We’ve learned nothing. We’re like one boat and a half dozen missiles from being back in 1962 but all the music sucks and nobody dances anymore. Clown world.
Yep. That’s the first thing I thought of too. I think Trump wouldn’t put up with it, but that POS 💩 in the white hut now, will probably let the commie bastards from China, put nuclear missiles in Cuba. They will succeed, where the Russians failed, because the POS 💩 in the white hut, will allow them to.
timing
cubans should have done this when Trump was in office
same with the iranians, obama sat on his hands
“...Cubans should have done this when Trump was in office...”
I sat here for 4 years asking myself that
Cuba will be much happier after they become part of China. America has not taken such a hard line against China. They we be free to work in Nike or Apple sweat shops.
Unless the Chinese have more stones than Nikita Kruschev had, and get more out of THEIR base 9 miles off Florida than HE did, it will end up the same.
But, maybe with sleepy, spineless Joe in the WH, the Chinese gamble could pay off like nobody's business!! American school kids will hiding under their desks, again!
