Couple of reasons that might explain the differing attitudes toward China and Cuba: When China essentially adopted "free market capitalism" as its economic model, the USA warmed up to China. Cuba (and its BFF, Venezuela), on the other hand, retain all facets of communism, including state control of most all economic activity. The people of China don't have political freedom, but they have economic freedom.robbedagain said:What i dont understand is China is communist and the US and US Air Carriers fly there yet Cuba is different...
The other big reason might be the proximity, what with Cuba being a mere 100 miles away.
China is many thousands of miles away, not in our backyard.
