    "I’ve sometimes said that we have reached ‘military invulnerability’, that that empire [the US] can’t pay the price in lives - unimaginable, perhaps higher than in Vietnam - if they try to occupy us. And besides, the American people aren’t ready to give their rulers leave to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives for some imperial adventure."

    -Castro

    Hope Papa Fidel is right

          I hope China has the balls to threaten expelling US production and stopping exports to the US over the Cuba issue. Americans couldn’t take two weeks of no haircuts without threatening a coup d‘etat. Imagine the US without goods from China.

            I also hope for this but I worry that China's no intervention policy would prevent it. The next best thing is the UN but they're toothless.
