come on Russia. im sure you need some tasty sugar, rum, cigars, etc. and you got all this oil that's complicated to sell on the U.S. dominated market

(but honestly wish China would just donate a bunch of solar panels or do a Belt & Road and build them some power plants in exchange for some port access or something)

I'm sure the Hitlerian state of Amerikkka would be extremely chill about China having access to ports visible from Key West.

China has announced the construction of 92 solar farms in Cuba as part of a joint effort to address the island’s energy crisis. The projects, carried out in collaboration between Cuban and Chinese companies, aim to add more than 2,000 megawatts to the island’s National Electric System.

It's underway but not really happening very quickly
