Spin looks ahead of Venezuela by the most recent numbers I could quickly find, as well as China on the imports side.  But I'm not going to keep chasing these goalposts.  Have a nice day.
With Florida no longer an electoral college issue, it's time to just get real with Cuba and just fuck those older fascist Cubans. >

Although I agree in principle with removing all sanctions, capitalism will negatively transform Cuba overnight. The 1950s automobiles will be bought and exported by wealthy Americans. The natural beauty of Cuba's indigenous flora and fauna will quickly be destroyed by tourism.
It's difficult to say how best to proceed. >

America removing their illegal blockade wouldn't change Cuba's internal system, and this isn't even proposing doing that. >

America is not blockading Cuba. >

The US embargo against Cuba includes provisions punishing trade partners that trade with Cuba, meaning no one can trade with Cuba without getting sanctioned by the US, adhering to strict US regulations, or being a strong enough trading bloc on their own to negotiate with the US (So just China).
It is in effect a blockade.
Edit: UN representatives call it a blockade. >

Just China?  Canada trades with Cuba.  The EU trades with Cuba.  Mexico trades with Cuba.  Much of South America, etc. >

As does many other countries. But the ways and what can be traded with the Cubans is limited by the US. (Which is why the rest of the world cares)
Although saying other countries trade with Cuba as if they just do it openly and easily is misleading. The two largest trading partners of Cuba by a mile are Venezuela and China.
