It really makes me sick that we depend on China for so much of our products. This is a result of disastrous Free Trade policies that have crippled our Industrial base, stagnated our wages and decimated our Middle Class.
I detest the policies of Bush I, Clinton and Bush II for what they did. They have a created a monster in China and now we owe then trillions and they have us by the balls. They know this and mock us by visiting our enemies like Cuba!
Castro serenades China’s Hu on landmark Cuba visit
Nov 18 07:58 PM US/Eastern
China’s President Hu Jintao made a landmark visit to Cuba Tuesday, bearing millions of dollars in aid and promises of closer future trade ties.
The Chinese leader brought 4.5 tonnes of humanitarian aid for victims of three hurricanes that battered Cuba this year, which was handed over late Monday after Hu’s arrival at the Jose Marti International Airport.
Receiving the gift, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation Rodrigo Malmierca said that Cuba “deeply appreciates the visit of President Hu Jintao, at the exact moment the country is struggling to recover and continue its development.”
It was the third donation China has made to assist Cuba in its recovery from hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Paloma, which caused 10 billion dollars worth of damages in the space of two months. Hurricane aid from the Chinese government and businesses has totalled more than 2.5 million dollars.
Later he accompanied President Raul Castro on a visit to a school for Chinese students, where the Cuban leader sang snippets of a song in Chinese praising late Communist Party Leader Mao Zedong.
