You clearly show you have no idea what Communism is Tigger. In Cuba, the "people"(state) own everything, hence the problem the USA has with Cuba.
Actually that has nothing to do with our issue with Cuba, ask any American who understands the Cuba issue and they will tell you the same thing.
China on the other hand allows individual wealth and prosperity and also foreign investment and ownership of property and businesses.
Some and very limited, my company does business with China every day, I know all about what we can and cannot do there.
Most housing is still owned by the government, most businesses are still owned by the government, foreign investors by and large have minority stakes. Its great to say you have private ownership, but if the government can and will take it away from you at will, do you really own it??? Two million people have been told to move as part of 3 Gorges, by and large there is no place for them to move, but there current homes are going to be underwater, so they have to move.
If you want to try and understand what Communism is meant to be, and why there has NEVER been a Communist state, and almost certainly NEVER will be,
Read the book, they didnt make a movie. But thats besides the point, you said you wanted to go to a communist country, which is why you wanted to go to Cuba. You can't hide behind there never has been a communist state when you are the one who said Cuba was one.
