Cuba Signs ‘Belt and Road’ Agreement With China
Epoch Times ^ | 12-27-21 | Frank Fang

Cuba and China have signed a cooperation plan to push forward construction projects under Beijing’s controversial overseas infrastructure program, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which has saddled many participating countries with heavy debt loads.

The Chinese Embassy in Cuba announced the agreement on its website on Dec. 26, saying that the deal was inked two days earlier by He Lifeng, head of China’s top economic planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, and Cuban Vice Prime Minister Ricardo Cabrisas.

The agreement implemented a memorandum of understanding the two nations signed in 2018, when Cuba agreed to become a BRI participating nation.

Under the agreement, the two nations aimed to work together on projects in several key sectors, including communications, education, health and biotechnology, science and technology, and tourism, according to the Agencia Cubana de Noticias news agency.

I misread the headline. Thought it was like our one belt for the road at bars and restaurants.

Perhaps one of the biggest strategic errors in US foreign policy was allowing Castro to remain in power thereby giving Communism a permanent base in the Western hemisphere.

I assume President Booty-Gig will sign it over with little resistance.

We have to take out the PRC

Whatever it takes .
100% total regime change .
An end to Chinese communism as the world has known it.
It’s never going to get better .
Might as well throw down and get it done with.
Entice them to take the first shot and then just wipe them out
It’s the only way .
Nixon and Kissenger’s folly has come home to roost . Totally.

From the end of WW2 we have been too kind and too hesitant

We should have listened to MacArthur and LeMay and there would
be no Comunist China . No Korean War , No Vietnam War
No Communist Cuba
We have entrusted out collective fates to ninnies and sissies.

Had Nixon been elected in 1960, Castro would have gone the way of Jacobo Arbenz.

My very first job was as a financial analyst in Miami. Two of the executives were Bay of Pigs Veterans who felt betrayed for the rest of their lives by the playboy son of Boston fixer/grifter.

Belt and road? More likely a permanent “art island” devoted to Hunter Biden’s colletion.

The CIA made a deal w Castro in the mid 60’s. Stop exporting revolution in Latin America, we stop trying to assassinate you.

Maybe the ChiComs are worried the deal for our major ports won’t go through...

Imagine what the cost will be for construction of the bridge from west africa to cuba...

Maybe they can use those millions of poor slaves dumped overboard as a foundation for those bridge pylons...
