I would like to apologise to China (lemmygrad.ml)

Despite no longer identifying with liberalism, I still make liberal mistakes. I have caught myself multiple times at this point saying that China is not doing this or that to help Cuba, or Palestine, or to combat some domestic issue. Then I do some digging and it turns out they are actually doing something.

As an example, I thought that China was abandoning Cuba with its energy crisis, but they are actually building solar plants. There are still problems, since the plants will take time to open, and still only provide a fraction of the energy Cuba needs, but this is just one project. I am sure there are more things going on behind the scenes which I just haven't seen yet, because they aren't flashy enough to make it to the front page of the news.

Basically, what I am saying is that I spoke first and investigated latter. This is because I was being lazy. I just want to remind everybody to not repeat my mistakes.

China also helps with overseas farming infrastructure. They commenced a project late last year in Cuba to assist with their rice farms, without going into too much detail (I'm a paranoid person and don't want to divulge my relations). Although I'm sure you could find some news regarding it.

Rice agricultural engineering in China has been paramount to halting famine in the country altogether. This is because this specific hybrid rice grain was engineered in order to be sustainable in tropical climates. They now share the creations and knowledge of Yuan Longping to all comrades across the globe, including Cuba and Africa. It's pretty awesome 😎
