Snip:
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, in Beijing on Thursday.
“China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security, opposes unwarranted interference by external forces, and rejects any attempt to deprive the Cuban people of their rights to survival and development,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said after the meeting.
Lin added that China is ready to support Cuba “to the best of its ability.”
Parrilla wrote on X that the sides “affirmed the special and strategic nature of the historical ties between the two socialist countries.”
Give them nukes and hypersonic weapons.
solar panels would be a godsend for them
And fucking dialysis machines and the filters that go in them
to the best of its ability
does give me some pause but I fail to see how this is anything but good for Cuba and the Cuban populace.
It’s a nice gesture, but I wouldn’t rely on China to oppose US imperialism. The only reliable deterrent is a nuke of your own.
Yes, they’ve proven that they’ve embraced the Republicans motto of “thoughts and prayers” when it comes to supporting weaker socialist countries trying to survive Western pedo hegemony.
To be fair: they would probably end up like the USSR if they actually did try to help
The USSRs issue was not its commitment to international socialism
did it have such a commitment?
Are you doing a bit? A joke? chuckling it up?
i know next to nothing of the USSR’s international diplomacy besides the fact that they tried to materially support other socialist regimes and that these efforts are in stark contrast to China’s seeming indifference (excluding North Korea & Vietnam).
the Sahel states are the only ones to get anything more than “thoughts and prayers” but those initiatives started when they were still under french control so it’s questionable at best if they can about counted as support since they’ve commited similar initiatives in isreal.
It’s common to hear that the USSR got over extended supporting global communism too much but realistically they could have kept that up had they not had the economic problems they did.
China today has much better economic positioning than the USSR for a variety of reasons so I really think them not helping more is a huge mistake but part of it is that while they defensively an in their region they can likely match the US they can’t do that far from home right now.
I’m optimistic this could change as China is able to get to parity with the US on military power projection. I know they have plans for building nuclear powered aircraft carriers which is what they need realistically if they’re going to actually militarily intervene to help say Venezuela or Cuba due to their distance from China.
IMO the next 10 years are going to show if China is actually willing to take on the mantle of the leader of global commmunist movement like it needs to.
like they said they would venezuela?
exactly!
In what material ways?
