Why Does the United States Trade with China But not with Cuba?

Most of what has posted applies however; we need to remember that their exists a strong Hispanic lobby of Cuban expatriates that hate Castro and his regime...also the fact that the tiny island handled and owned the US in the Bay of Pigs incident..it took decades to live down that embarrassment.

Please answer mine:

China is not communist anymore. At least I'm like 90% sure on that. They're something else.

But its because Cuba has, and always will represent the independence of south America. Cuba was the last stand for anyone who did not want to be a capitalist. It lied dormant peacefully for a very long time, after its history of tension. But the embargo was never lifted because Cuba never changed. They have always resented corporate and north American influence in S.A. and only recently have other S.A. nations got behind that. They witnessed for themselves the devastation of our stupid little system.

China, on the other hand, is a corporate embodiment all in its own. Just like America is. They're essentially one in the same, and America would literally be NOTHING without Chinese goods and support. All our electronics, all our cheap trinkets and plastic lifestyles would die. Just die. So they don't have a choice other than to keep trading with China. Plus we owe them more than anything in our own country will ever be worth. So, if we were to stop trading, it would cause a lot of problems.

Because communist China owns a lot of the U.S. debt.

Former alliance with the Russians while living in close proximity to the USA. China buying of USA's debt. Race.

China claims communism, but they are communist in that a few people hold all the money and power and they are the government whilst everyone gets relatively nothing. otherwise it is capitalist seeking to fatten the wallets of those few people at the top.

so it is communist in society in that they punish their workers for defying orders or to stop them from leaving and also pay them peanuts.

capitalist in that they seek to make loads of money off cheap labour

To keep China happy. They're getting frighteningly powerful so everyone wants to be friends with them.

If I was selling apples, and my neighbor that I did not like too much was willing to buy those apples for a fair price, Id sell them to him. What would really sweeten the deal is if that same neighbor had oranges for sale and gave me a decent price on them, see I like oranges, but I cant grow them too well in my soil.

Now, my other neighbor, I dont like him too much either, but he has nothing of value that I want. So F him.

cuba has little to offer
