CHINESE INFLUENCE IN CUBA GROWS
Saw the Mayor today at the Blockbuster, he told me that the Chinese are strengthening their influence in Cuba. Found this related story in the Kansas City Star: "In his first visit to Cuba, Chinese President Hu Jintao lent strong political support to this besieged nation but also came bearing gifts, including $500 million for a new nickel plant and $15 million for education, health and other areas. Hu even pledged late last month to finance the manufacture of 1 million television sets on the island."
