Yeah Bill you are right. Just noted it for time frame as it was right after the spy plane was illegally shot down, China's president was visiting Castro and upping their military ties (Spring 01).

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about the ability of China to meddle here, although propping up a bankrupt state that can't ever return the investment seems like a losing proposition.
Trying to use Cuba for military reasons didn't work well for the USSR.
