Cuba doesn’t need agricultural equipment, it needs oil, which the US is preventing it from getting. Since China doesn’t have oil, it is massively building out Cuba’s solar capacity. In the meantime, they are delivering life-sustaining shipments of food.
You seem to be very misinformed about which governments are helping the Cuban people, and which are harming. Cuba wouldn’t need any of this help without US sanctions.
(And ironically, the situation you are describing aligns almost precisely with how USAID functioned before Trump destroyed it.)
This exactly. Cuba has cars and farm equipment but it doesn’t have the fuel to run them.
The solar tech China is sending Cuba will probably be their most valuable trade. Every bit of Cuba that no longer relies on US-controlled foreign oil is a godsend to Cuba. A car that charges on solar power is energy independence for them.
(would be for the US too but we’re not under sanctions and we’ve got enough gas to ignore that small truth).
