First things first, the White House just rescinded the "state sponsor of terrorism" designation for Cuba, admitting that Cuba hasn't actually sponsored any terrorism, and I didn't want to make an entire thread just for this one item.

How's that re-legitimization of private property working out for Cuba lately?

That's great. I guess the terror-list is now a slightly less ridicules politicized contrivance.

It's not, since the US tightened the blockade-screw.

Why can't they trade with China?

I'm not sure that they aren't. However Cuba is a tiny Island with a tiny economy, it's probably rarely worth it for the Chinese mega container ships to make the detour. It probably would be cheaper to send stuff from the US by Airplane.

I think Cuba is trading with Russia tho. The Russians are also rumored to have parked a attack submarine in Cuba.

Cuba joining BRICS might enable them to trade more easily, maybe that fixes administrative hurdles.
