| Zusammenfassung: | This article offers an analytical introduction to some important Cubarelated discussions in China in the last two-and-a-half decades. No Latin American nation has been treated like Castros' (Fidel and Raul) Cuba in China's ideological development. Cuba's revolutionary experience in the past and the regime's defiance of major global trends - from retreat of socialism to advancement of neo-liberalism -correspond to a wide range of opinions in China and are exploited by them to address their own concerns. To borrow Orientalist analysis, just like the "Other" helps define "Self," as a "socialist Other," Cuba in Chinese perception often reflects China's own confusions and contradictions. |
