Chinese active in Cuba: What are they doing in a country with almost no consumers?

President Trump will not have free trade with Cuba and we are glad to hear this news.

Raul Castro is worst than his brother Fidel and we all know this fact, period.

What else could go wrong with making a deal with this tyrant Raul Castro!!!

Raul Castro was instrumental in getting the Cuban secret police in Venezuela. Chavez and Maduro paid off the Cubans by giving them free oil in return for Cuban secret police and security that would protect Chavez (former dead tyrant) and Maduro (current living tyrant of Venezuela)

That photo of Raul Castro and the Chinese Premier give us that feeling of "With friends like these who needs enemies.

We need to be thankful that President Trump does not trust either one of these guys.

Actually, we can honestly say that these two (2) shown on the photo are very good friends of the American Hating, Piece of Work, Imposter Obama.

Controlling Cuba is strategically important because everything that flows down the Mississippi out the Port of New Orleans and heads either to Europe or Asia (via the Panama Canal) has to pass through choke points at the Florida Straits or Yucatan Channel.

Very simple, they are drilling for oil around Cuba and financing Venezuela:

China probably is protecting its own interests by becoming state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela’s main banker.

Venezuela owes it as much as $60 billion and can’t meet production obligations.

China has become an important ally of Cuba as well as its second-largest trading partner—behind Venezuela.
