Chinese envoy calls on US to lift embargo against Cuba
2015-10-28 7:06:23
China's permanent representative to the UN Liu Jieyi Tuesday called on the United States to end decades of embargo against Cuba.
Liu made the remarks earlier in the day before the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the issue by a near-unanimous vote.
Liu noted that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in September has opened up new prospects, presented new opportunities and defined new goals for global development and international development cooperation.
"Under these new circumstances, it is necessary to immediately put an end to the economic embargo and sanctions against Cuba," he said.
It was the 24th time in a row that the General Assembly adopted the annual resolution presented by Cuba appealing for an end to the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America.
The measure this year garnered the highest level of backing at the United Nations. Altogether 191 UN member states voted in favor of the non-binding resolution, while the United States and Israel voted against it.
The Chinese envoy said that it is regrettable that the American embargo against Cuba remains in effect, adding that it has inflicted enormous economic and financial losses on Cuba, impeding the efforts of the Cuban people to eliminate poverty, promote economic and social development and achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
"It has impaired the rights of the Cuban people to survival and development, and adversely affected economic, commercial and financial interactions between Cuba and other countries," he added.
China has always advocated respect for countries' right to autonomously choose their social systems and development paths and opposed using military, political, economic, or other means to apply unilateral sanctions against other countries, he said.
In July this year, the United States and Cuba restored diplomatic relations, marking an important step in the normalization of relations between the two countries.
"We hope that the United States and Cuba will maintain dialogue and consultation and consolidate the momentum of improvement of relations between the two countries," he said.
China has noted that the United States has started to partially lift bans on tourist visits to Cuba as well as bans in commerce and telecommunication, and that the US intends to push for the ultimate lifting of the trade embargo, said Liu.
"We hope that the United States will completely rescind the policy of economic blockade and sanctions against Cuba and that the two sides will develop normal inter-state relations in line with the purposes of the United Nations Charter and the basic principles of international relations," he said.
He noted that this will be in the common interest of the United States and Cuba as well as peoples of the two countries and will be conducive to the stability and development of the Americas as well as the common development of the international community.

191 for and 2 against (US-Israel).
US once again vetoes embargo against Cuba.
And that has been so for 23 years. So much for US respect for international community/opinion.
That's the reason why the world does not take into seriously US panic attacks as to freedom of navigation in SCS.

Exactly.
What matters is hard power. Crude, hard power.
Each of these incidents are valuable lessons especially for those historically conscious.
China cares about international (Western) opinion slightly more than the US does. When we achieve parity, we will respect as much as they do.

CHINESE NAVY SHIPS DOCK IN CUBA FOR THE FIRST TIME
11 Nov 2015
The Chinese Navy docked in Cuba Tuesday night for a five-day trip celebrating the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The three-ship fleet is the first of its kind to visit Cuba, and arrives from Florida, where Chinese and American vessels conducted joint military exercises.
Despite close ties with Cuba — China is its second-largest trading partner after Venezuela — the Chinese Navy had never visited the island, or the east coast of the United States. Both nations heralded the visit as a natural activity for allies to undertake. The visit, said fleet commander Wang Jianxun, is “a chance to strengthen ties between the navies and armed forces of both countries,” as the two nations “share ideals and a shared independent development path aimed at building socialism.”
The Agence France-Presse notes that the trip out of Florida to Cuba had not been advertised in either nation’s state media prior to it occurring. State propaganda outlets for both nations applauded their militaries and welcomed China’s presence in the Atlantic.
Granma, the Cuban communist state newspaper, quoted Wang as saying that the meeting was a signal to the world that “together, we will play a more active role in the defense of global peace.” He also described the two nations as “brothers, friends, and partners.” This echoes columnists in Chinese state media outlets arguing that the visit to the United States, in particular, was “indicative of China’s establishment of a world-class navy that can patrol international waters on international missions and contribute to the global commons and international law.”
Xinhua, the Chinese state news outlet, in turn, ran quotes by Cuban Navy deputy chief Capt. Idalberto Moreno: “We are honored to receive for the first time at Havana harbor the visit of a group of combat ships from the sister navy of the China’s People Liberation Army a visit that consolidates the close ties between our peoples.” Xinhua describes Cuba as China’s “closest ally in the region” politically.
Xinhua notes that the fleet will eventually return to China, but not before making similar stops in Mexico and, once sailing through the Panama Canal, Hawaii.
It remains unclear whether the Chinese Navy will conduct similar exercises with Cuba as it did with the American Navy in Jacksonville, Florida last week, as Cuba’s navy is a much smaller operation. Chinese media reported that the Jacksonville exercises included “coordination of maritime communications, fleet operations and rescue missions.”
Chinese sailors were greeted in the Florida city by traditional dragons and, according to local media, would be docking to “visit St. Augustine as well as Disney World, shopping at the St. Johns Town Center and playing the U.S. Navy on Thursday in basketball, soccer and tug-of-war games.” On his Jacksonville stop, Wang commended the joint exercises as a way of “promoting trust between two countries and building new relations between two militaries.”
In addition to this activity in the Atlantic, a Chinese Navy hospital ship docked in San Diego, California last week, giving tours to the public and receiving a diplomatic welcome.
For many international observers, these visits arrive at an odd time in American-Chinese maritime relations. The United States Department of Defense has adamantly rejected China’s claims to the entirety of the South China Sea, sending a warship, the USS Lassen, to navigate within 12 nautical miles of the Spratly Islands, a contested territory, in late October. Last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter personally sailed on an American warship through the South China Sea with his Malaysian counterpart, Hishammuddin Hussein, telling reporters, “There’s a lot of concern about Chinese behavior out here.”
The Chinese have vocally opposed any American presence in the region, and monitored American maritime activity there. The South China Sea is disputed between China and Malaysia, Brunei, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. China has refused to participate in arbitration on this matter by the International Criminal Court, though the ICC has begun hearing the case, anyway.

China's all inclusive and multilateral development model expanding through new horizons each passing day.
Aside from military cooperation, China should work harder to capture the largest trade partner position with Cuba -- now second to Venezuela.
China’s Huawei inks deal to sell phones in Cuba
November 7, 2015, 5:44 am

Chinese telecom giant Huawei inked a deal with Cuban telecom company Etecsa on Friday to sell its smartphones in the island nation, signaling Huawei’s further expansion in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
Javier Villarino, Huawei’s head of sales in Cuba, told reporters that the deal with Etecsa would allow Huawei to sell phones, distribute spare parts and accessaries, and train repair staff.
“Etecsa will be able to acquire our products in a safe way with guarantees,” Villarino said.
China’s largest maker of telecommunications equipment sold 48.2 million smartphones in the first six months of the year.
Chinese products, such as home appliances, have been growing in popularity in Cuba.
An Etecsa report in April showed the Cuban mobile phone market had more than 3 million users and was growing rapidly.
Joining more than 40 Chinese companies, Huawei also displayed its products and services at the 33rd Havana International Fair (Fihav 2015), which will conclude on Saturday.
Fihav 2015 has seen the presence of Chinese automotive, electronics, and renewable energy companies, besides Huawei and others.
Huawei, founded in 1987 by former army engineer Ren Zhengfei, is one of several Chinese smartphone makers vying with Apple and Samsung for supremacy in a hotly contested global market for mobile devices.
China’s Huawei Technologies said last month it will spend $1 billion to support information and communication technology developers over the next five years.
“The aim is to help developers create innovative services and rapidly respond to customers’ business needs,” Huawei executive director and president of products and solutions Ryan Ding said in a statement.

China-Cuba trade rises 57% in first three quarters
Updated: 2015-10-30 13:27
HAVANA - Trade between China and Cuba reached $1.596 billion between January and September in 2015, up 57 percent year-on-year, the Chinese embassy in Havana announced Thursday.
The growth confirms that China is now the island nation's second largest trade partner after Venezuela, said Ma Ke-qiang, economic counsellor at the Chinese embassy.
Ma added that Chinese exports to Cuba reached $1.33 billion in the first three quarters, up by82.4 percent.
However, Cuban exports to China have actually dropped, due to a decrease in the production of nickel, which is the country's principal export, in addition to tobacco.
Ma also said more than 40 Chinese companies will participate in the 33rd Havana International Fair on Nov 2-7 to further promote trade relations between the two countries.
The companies are mostly related to the automotive, home appliances, machinery and light industry sectors, he said.

Will the U.S. have to compete with China for the emerging Cuban market?
The Unites States is not the only country vying for Cuba's attention and open markets. But the island nation distrusts Washington and instead has been strengthening ties with China, one of the U.S.' major competitors.
In 2015, trade between China and Cuba increased by 57 percent, reaching some US$1.6 billion according to Beijing officials, while in past months direct flights began to operate between Beijing and Havana.
China is also leading the construction of internet infrastructure in Cuba, a market that the U.S. has been battling to enter. According to specialists, the deals were a deliberate decision by Havana, stemming from its lack of trust in U.S
“The Chinese influence is felt in all areas,” says Richard Feinberg, a former U.S. diplomat and expert on the Cuban economy at the University of California and the Brookings Institution. “From the point of view of Cuba, they are still paranoid about the United States.”
According to media reports, several U.S. companies have been seeking to close deals in Cuba, particularly in the communications sector, including AT&T and the U.S. Postal Service, but also in the tourism industry.
Cuba has been reluctant to fully open its doors to the U.S. telecommunications industry, however, instead choosing to deal with China. Speculators say U.S. companies seeking new markets in Cuba may have a harder time than initially thought.
"In part, this is the result of a historical attempt by the United States to undermine the Cuban government through telecommunications and therefore Havana doesn’t trust our hardware,” William M. LeoGrande, School of Public Issues professor for the American University in Washington.
Joint ventures and foreign direct investment from China to Cuba are currently relatively small, but this is expected to grow in the coming years.
Diplomatic relations between the Washington and Havana are set to reach a climax this weekend, when President Barack Obama arrives in Cuba. This will be the first time a U.S. president has visited the island nation since 1928.
-------------
China is playing well the game in South America as how U.S is doing with SCS countries. Wait for few more years, South America will get a lot of military toys from China and we will show American the real Monroe doctrine in America.

I don't know if you hadn't noticed but South America is pretty much in chaos right now.
Venezuela is on the verge of collapse and when it falls it will effect Cuba,Ecuador,Bolivia, and Nicaragua and all the Caribbean countries that rely on it's generous Petrocarribe. unless China is going to step in subsidize their fuels costs for the near and long term future.
Brazil's economy is in the crapper, and now their are protests and riots in Brazil over Lula and Dilma Rouseff involvement in the Petrobras scandal
China needs to worry about it's own self
and what do you mean by real Monroe doctrine???
China selling weapons in South America wouldn't be a threat to the U.S, but would just add to destabilize the Continent further.
they don't really have a pot to piss in now anyhow.

Sort of an odd article because the United States does not have any real trade or investments with Cuba at present, and hasn't had since before I was born. That is starting to change, but it's going to take awhile.
Since you claimed so many chaos in South America. Venezuela who owed China so much money shall repaid by allowing a Chinese naval base to host our fleet.I don't know if you hadn't noticed but South America is pretty much in chaos right now.

Without Chaos, there will have no much chance left for China to step into this region, the mess that left over by US in this region, China can take advantage of it by offering incentive support and united these countries against US as American is trying to do in SCS.
Since you claimed so many chaos in South America. Venezuela who owed China so much money shall repaid by allowing a Chinese naval base to host our fleet.
Indeed a base in South America will be a great idea, it will be easy for Chinese Navy to patrol US west coast
, would America dare to repeat the same exploit as 1962 Cuba crisis to stop China???
