Are Cuba & China New Economic and Military Allies??

   The photo above was taken in Havana by Roberto Suarez, a Cuban who is one of the Caribbean's greatest photographers. The photo chronicles Cuba accurately with schools now closed for the summer on the island and with these children, all consumed with rolling skating as they take a rest break. This photo does not resonate in the news media but it does chronicle Cuba's capital city of Havana in late June of 2023. Meanwhile, the Cuban headlines in the U. S. and international media currently are telling the world that Cuba might soon be the focal point of a clash between the United States and China, the world's two richest and most powerful nations!!

          How, you may ask, is the poor little nation of Cuba and Superpower China tied together in late June of 2023 in worldwide headlines as possibly the catalyst portending what might be World War 3 between the top current nuclear powers, such as history to this day registers the fact that way back in October of 1962 poor little Cuba was the catalyst in what still is the closest the world has ever come to a nuclear holocaust, with that one pitting the United States against the Soviet Union.

\    So now, in late June of 2023, above are the Top Cuba Headlines circling around the world as rich and powerful Counter Revolutionary Cubans in the U. S. seem to have latched onto headlines that finally, after 64+ years later, might portend the end of Revolutionary Cuba. It, of course, doesn't help if citizens of the world study those headlines-articles because, in recent years, even top media sources in the United States have evolved mostly into propaganda providers instead of dispensers of the news that people need, crave, and deserve.

     The Articles/Editorials shown directly above are about the current Cuba-China uproar and the producers are prime media sources such as the Wall Street Journal, the China News, the New York Times, etc., etc. Yet...studying the photos shown below paint better pictures of what is actually taking place.

    China's leader Zi is cozying up to Cuba's leader Diaz-Canel because Cuba, in late June of 2023, is reeling from the six-decade-old U. S. economic Embargo/Blockade of the island nation that is a mere 90 miles south of Key West, Florida. Zi, fiercely competing with the U. S. in the Taiwan Straits, wants all the support he can muster, including that of Diaz-Canel.

     Even before things heated up between China and the United States over Taiwan, Zi and his wife were close friends to Diaz-Canel and his wife. Now, as some headlines suggest that some Cubans are starving in the throes of the U. S. Embargo, the ultra-powerful Zi may feel he needs Cuba's help more than ever, and most Cubans have good feelings about Zi because he has sent rice and other things to Cuba, as well as greatly improving rail service on the Island.

    Also, it should be noted, Zi idolized Cuba's revolutionary icon Fidel Castro. The photo above shows Zi in Fidel's home in Havana shortly before Fidel died at age 90 in 2016.

     The map above shows little Cuba and the world's two most powerful and richest nations, the United States and China. Cuba is just a few miles from the United States and it is many thousands of miles from China. From a geographical standpoint, Cuba would be much better off if the United States, not China, was its best friend. But that is not the way it is.
