HU's Sleeping With Fidel?

Want to see HU's been sleeping with the Cuban cut throat? There's a good article at the Jamestown Foundation you should check out. I should warn you though, like any good sexed up novel, it's borders on being a scandal.

THE JAMESTOWN FOUNDATION

Most important for China, Cuba is believed to have the world’s third largest nickel reserves and Beijing is pumping $500 million into doubling the island’s annual production

A related issue is Chinese involvement with Cuban military and intelligence.

....“we need to be alert to rapidly advancing Chinese capabilities, particularly in the fields of intelligence, communications and cyber-warfare, and their possible application in the region” (Congressional testimony, April 6, 2005).

A number one priority has been personnel and defense technologies for Cuba’s Air and Air Defense Forces (DAAFAR), since it might someday have to repel a U.S. invasion, the “mirror” on Taiwan. Among those trained in China and working with the Chinese is DAAFAR chief Pedro Mendiondo Gomez, an expert in air defense.
