China offers support to Cuba on developing socialism

Published April 21, 2011
Chinese President Hu Jintao sent a message to Fidel Castro expressing his admiration and respect for the former leader after the 6th Cuban Communist Party Congress, and he offered Havana Beijing's help on the "road of socialist development."

In the message, dated April 19 and released on Thursday by official Cuban media, Hu hailed the figure of Fidel Castro as the "founder and promoter of the revolution and construction of Cuba" and praised him for his fearless leadership in the face of "foreign pressure."

The Chinese president emphasized that Castro had won "the admiration of the peoples of the world" and called him an "eminent revolutionary, ideologue, strategist and statesman."

He also recalled that after the 1959 triumph of the revolution led by Castro, Cuba the next year became the first country in Latin America to establish diplomatic relations with Communist China.

"At present, both China as well as Cuba find themselves at a crucial phase of development. I'm convinced that, under the direction of comrade Raul Castro Ruz, the socialist revolution and construction of Cuba without any doubt will achieve new successes," the Chinese president said.

The Cuban party congress, held April 16-19 in Havana, made official the replacement of Fidel by his younger brother Raul as first secretary of the party, formally completing the transfer of powers begun in 2006 when the former leader delegated his duties and posts upon falling seriously ill.

The gathering also ratified the socio-economic reform plan proposed by President Raul Castro to "update" Cuban socialism.

Hu's message reaffirmed China's rejection of any foreign intervention in Cuba and its backing of Havana's exploration of the "road of socialist development that corresponds to its reality," as well as stating that China would do what it could "within our power" to help the communist island with its socio-economic development.

It will be great for Cuba and all Cubans if China can assist Cuba in developing the socio-economic model that has brought prosperity to China. Similar to the economic prosperity that has also helped Vietnam stand on it's feet.

The irony of course is that with the trillions of dollars of "profits" that China has accumulated from selling to the United States, it's American money (in a roundabout way) that will be helping Cuba.

Maybe China can teach Cuba how to improve their human rights records as well. China's is a thousand times worse than Cuba's but they seem to have found a way to beat the s*&t out of, imprison, torture and murder their citizens by the tens of thousands, in ways that are deemed to be OK by US standards.

China holds the morgage on the United States of America so the American Government will say Jack s*&t! What is it now...... $1.05 now exchange rate???? Our currency has hardly moved compared to almost every major currency in the world, except the US dollar. We SHOULD be about 92 to 93 cents US. The difference is due to the fact that you can't print money forever and NOT pay the price.
My prediction ( and I was right to within half a cent last time!!), the devaluation of the green back will not stop until it reaches $1.10 Canadian, level out, and then slowly slide back to parity. This problem ain't going away any time soon.

AND obtained "Most Favoured Nation" status from the USA at the same time. Sure as hell beats a 50-year-old embargo.

AND all the while, supporting North Korea; economically, militarily and diplomatically.

"It will be great for Canadians and other sexual tourists if China can assist us in maintaining Cubans as slaves that need to sell to greasy foreigners in order to survive."

Now you're talking.

Care to actually participate in discussing the topic?

Have you anything intelligent and/or relevant to share?

I thought not.

Rainboo, what's a "morgage"?
Is that something like a smorgasbord that you find in Cuba's tourist hotels or does it has to do with some kind of hemorrhage? If we cannot understand what you are trying to say, it is hard for us to be able to comprehend your reason for posting. Thanks.

I made the word shorter so that you would not have to stand on a chair to read it.
You are welcome.

Damn Rainbow..... I thought you made it shorter so that you wouldn't exceed Jorge's attention span. Or was it shorter so as not to exceed his intelligence level? Oh heck, you made it shorter because words that are too long have too many sylables and Jorge doesn't know them bigger words. That must be it.....
