Cuba, a unique country.
Despite having over 1.2 million military personnel and more than 1,200 tanks, its military capability and development have always been constrained.
This all stems from Cuba's geographical location.
As a country neighboring the United States, Cuba faces significant challenges in military development.
The actions of the United States clearly restrict the rapid development of other countries, especially in the military domain.
First, the military situation in Cuba is remarkable.
From the perspectives of land area, population, and economy, Cuba is not a small country.
Its annual economic output exceeds a trillion US dollars, much higher than many other countries.
In terms of military affairs, the Cuban government invests heavily, with an annual defense expenditure of up to $3 billion.
This indicates that the Cuban government highly values the concept of "national defense promotes national development".
They deeply understand that only by possessing a strong military force can they protect the country from bullying by other countries.
However, Cuba's unfavorable geographical location has also hindered its military development.
Therefore, some netizens say that if Cuba had a different geographical location, its military strength would be remarkable.
Although Cuba has a large number of tanks, its weaponry and equipment still lag behind.
Many weapons and equipment remain in the era before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
It's unbelievable that Cuba still uses tanks manufactured in 1947.
Considering it is now 2004, there is evidently a huge gap between Cuba's equipment and that of China's military.
However, it's commendable that despite the outdated weaponry, the people of Cuba have never given up.
Even when facing powerful countries, the local people steadfastly defend the national interests.
Second, supporting Cuba to build "Sino-Cuban" friendship.
Since establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, China and Cuba have maintained a profound and long-standing friendship, supporting each other in multiple fields and achieving fruitful results.
Recently, Cuban General Rojas visited China, and leaders of both sides discussed the development of economics, culture, and particularly, the development of the Cuban military.
After discussions, China expressed its support for the development of the Cuban military, which is crucial for Cuba.
China's public support is also a response to unlawful behavior.
Third, how should China support Cuba's military development?
After careful consideration of the military situations of China and Cuba, it can be seen that China's support can be multifaceted.
The most direct way is to provide advanced weapons and equipment to Cuba to replace its outdated equipment, thereby comprehensively enhancing Cuba's armed forces.
China's VT tanks and JF-17 fighter jets enjoy a great reputation worldwide, and if exported to Cuba, they would greatly enhance Cuba's military strength.
In addition to supporting Cuba in military equipment, China can also provide assistance in military training and development, offering more scientific development ideas for Cuba.
For example, inviting the Cuban military to participate in military exercises, improving its infrastructure, and enhancing the quality and training level of military personnel.
China's support for the Cuban military is not just a momentary impulse but a well-thought-out result.
This support not only helps maintain world peace but also provides favorable conditions for China's development.
This is also a manifestation of win-win cooperation. Through China's support, Cuba's military strength will be enhanced, serving as a wake-up call to the world.
