China is a police state. We deal with them because our leaders (both parties) have been sold on the idea trade will produce liberalization. I'm skeptical and would use trade more aggressively as a lever.

As to Cuba, IMO Castro had a hand in the assassination of JFK. Also Castro personally wanted war between the US and USSR during the Cuban missile crisis. Unlike the Chinese rulers, he still believes in Communism as an ideal and in Communist revolution.
