China, reinforces its influence in Cuba, and in a new chapter of its global expansion, the Asian country will provide assistance by modernising the Cuban General Customs of the Caribbean Republic to make it competitive globally.
Cuba Prime Minister Manuel Marrero met in Havana with the Deputy of the GACC, the General Administration of Customs of China, Lyu Weihong according to state television and replicated by other media of the ruling party such as the newspaper Granma.
On the occasion the Cuban government also celebrated Chinese support as strength, noting that both countries are commemorating 65 years of bilateral relations.
The Prime Minister of Cuba praised the training program of Cuban Customs from China and the administrative assistance promoted since 2012 and which after the signing of a new memorandum of understanding, will be extended until 2027.
However, behind the discourses of solidarity and cooperation between the two countries, a critical reading emerges; China's growing involvement in strategic sectors of the Caribbean island reinforces Cuba's technological and administrative dependence on Beijing.
In a context of internal crisis, the transfer of modern models could also imply the transplantation of more controlled practices that characterize the Chinese customs apparatus and something that they have been warning about from the highest levels of Cuban customs.
Chinese Vice Minister Lyu Weihong assured that China will deepen support to achieve a modern advanced and internationalallty competitive customs service, stating that China and Cuba have made progress supporting each other in recent years, under the strategic leadership of both top leaders, which is an example of solidarity pretty common among socialist countries based on cooperation and development in different areas.
