China is building 75 solar parks in Cuba, and the island’s power crisis is becoming an infrastructure experiment

This is the correct move.

Thanks, China. I hope you’ll end the crisis.

But!

At!

What!

Cost!

Imagine trying to economically punch Cuba in the dick, but ultimately just rapidly accelerating Cuba’s green energy infrastructure and helping them achieve nominal energy independence.

As a unitedstatesian who thinks the blockade is very fucking stupid, I am happy at the ultimate outcome here, as it will give our stupid fucking regime less leverage over Cuba, and diminish our ability to fuck with them economically for no good reason.

I wonder what kind of interest rate the Chinese are charging the Cubans.
