[Preface]
I believe that the focus of everyone's attention recently is Cuba, a "small South American country", which is developing socialism at the gate of the United States, and although it is facing many challenges, they are still constantly exploring.
It is such a country that has recently shocked all of us by two big events that have happened in quick succession in 24 hours......
At the same time, Cuba's high-level officials also made an urgent visit to China, and our Chinese side also sent heavyweights to receive it!
What are the two major events that have happened in Cuba, and why do you have to pay an urgent visit to China?
[The conflict between Iran and Israel is in full swing, and the Cuban military suddenly visits China]
The conflict between Iran and Israel has also been one of the things that has been of the most concern to all of us lately, and the main reason for this conflict is that Israel has launched an attack on Iran.
On April 1, 2024, the Syrian embassy in Damascus, the Syrian capital, was attacked by Israeli air, although Syrian government air defense systems intercepted some missiles.
But buildings were still heavily damaged, and 13 people were killed in the attack, including seven Iranian military personnel and six Syrians.
In the two weeks since, Iran has been planning retaliation, thinking that it could last for a long time.
However, they did not expect that the conflict between Iran and Israel has not yet been resolved, and the Cuban military is suddenly going to visit China.
On April 15, 2024, the Ministry of National Defense of the mainland sent a message: The Cuban military came to visit suddenly, and the reception was the vice chairman of the mainland's military commission.
The Cuban person who came to visit China was Rojo, director of the General Political Department of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and in this way, China and Cuba quickly entered into communication.
During this exchange, our representative made it clear that the friendship between the mainland and Cuba is not only long-standing, but also very firm.
In the past few years, Cuba has never objected to any problems in China's core interests, but has always expressed its support to China.
We are also deeply grateful to Cuba for such acts, and in the future, the mainland will certainly continue to support Cuba in adopting some necessary means to defend its national dignity and to oppose interference in Cuba's internal affairs by external forces with an absolute attitude.
On the basis of Cuba's friendship, we have also expressed our willingness to share the mainland's experience in modernization, mainly to raise the relationship between the two countries to a higher level.
They do not look at Cuba as a relatively small country, but they have also made it clear that the Cuban government will definitely adhere to the one-China principle in the future, and will never forget the tradition with China, and will do its best to make the development of the two countries better and better.
After all, in the course of the talks, Cuba has not only expressed its strong support for China, but has also repeatedly expressed its hope that it will be able to work with the mainland to oppose hegemonism in the international community.
On the surface, it seems that this conversation was indeed seamless, but some media still noticed some differences in this talk, and in this talk, the mainland specifically mentioned that it would use practical actions to help Cuba build up its army.
This is not common in the usual news, and Cuba, a small country far away from the Middle East, will certainly not join the strife in the Middle East.
In addition, Cuba is one of the few enemies in the world that practices socialism at the doorstep of the United States, and it will certainly not easily get involved in disputes in the Middle East.
It seems that there is still a great deal of profound meaning in such remarks, and the final result of Cuba's sudden visit to China is obviously a little scary.
[China came forward to receive and support Cuba to resist US infiltration!]
In fact, if you really look at the relationship between Cuba and the United States, it is quite complicated, and the relationship has been deteriorating so far.
As early as the beginning of the 16th century, the Spanish conquistadors landed in Cuba across the ocean and colonized Cuba for a long time with some of their own strength.
Later, in the 19th century, Cuba drove out these Spanish colonists with the help of the United States, and ushered in the independence of their own country.
From this point of view, the relationship between Cuba and the United States is indeed quite good, but when did the relationship between Cuba and the United States change?
At that time, when the United States and the Soviet Union were in the Cold War, when the United States learned of Cuba's socialist path and had been constantly seeking the support of the Soviet Union, the United States was not calm for a moment.
The United States, on the other hand, has always been a hegemonic country, and in order to safeguard its own geopolitical interests, it has begun to impose sanctions on Cuba in various aspects.
This period lasted for 63 years, and the Cuban people did not give in to the United States, even if life was miserable during this period, and it was not until 2014 that Cuba was freed from US sanctions.
But even now, the relationship between the two is still very stiff, and this visit to China by Cuba is to take the socialist road with China.
As for the mainland's attitude toward Cuba's idea, I believe everyone has already seen that the person who received the Cuban visitors was the vice chairman of the Continental Army Commission, and this has clearly demonstrated the importance we attach to the Cuban visitors.
Cuba may be the only socialist country in the world that has been deeply embedded in the heart of the Americas, and this is definitely a nail that is difficult to pull out for the hegemonic United States.
The US sanctions against Cuba have never stopped, and the purpose of our visit to Cuba this time is to support Cuba in resisting US infiltration.
In the conversations between the two sides, we can see that the mainland has also given Cuba a reassuring pill -- we will provide Cuba with help to the best of our ability, and we will continue to help them build up their army, and we also hope to work with Cuba to build a "community with a shared future for China." ”
Nowadays, the mainland's discourse has a certain weight in the international community, and it will certainly have an impact on the hegemonic United States, so with these remarks from the mainland, I believe that Cuba's future development will certainly get better and better.
[Cuba has not been calm recently, 2 major events in 24 hours]
In the preface, we mentioned that two big things happened in Cuba in 24 hours, so what are the two big things? Let's take a look.
In the early morning of April 11, local time, a military helicopter of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) was on a mission, but it suddenly crashed into Santiago International Airport in eastern Cuba.
It is understood that the three crew members of the military plane died on the spot, but the most incomprehensible thing is why the accident of this plane is here?
Some people may wonder what's wrong with the location of San Diego International Airport, which is very close to the Guantanamo Bay in the United States.
However, the Cuban plane crashed here, which has made many people wonder: So is this caused by the United States? Is the crash related to the United States?
Not only that, but there is also a special coincidence, the day after the crash in Cuba, the United States made a statement to the outside world, and they released another piece of information: on April 12, the former US ambassador to Bolivia was suspected of providing US intelligence to Cuba, and the current betrayal has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
When this sentence was uttered, not only did it not make outsiders believe it, but even many American media were particularly surprised by this news, after all, in the United States, if military intelligence is disclosed to the outside world, then the punishment will definitely not be just imprisonment.
Why did he open up to the ambassador to Bolivia this time? Could it be that there is some secret that cannot be said? Of course, some people speculate that the ambassador may have provided some important information about Cuba to the United States during the course of his interrogation.
It is very likely that this information contains the crash of the military plane that occurred on April 11, and we still do not know what the truth of this incident is.
But these two things can happen at the same time within 24 hours, which means that there is definitely a certain connection between these two things, and there must be an inevitable connection.
【Conclusion】
From this article, I believe that many people have discovered that the geographical location of Cuba is really quite special, when Cuban personnel visit China.
Many media have raised a question: "If China and Cuba cooperate, will it make the international situation more serious?"
I believe that the editor has already given you the answer to this question in the previous article, and the mainland has also clearly pointed out that the cooperation with Cuba is to ensure that Cuba's internal affairs are not interfered with.
After all, China and Cuba are both developing socialist countries, and both hope that every country in the world can respect each other for peaceful development.
