That only tells us that Cuba is inclined to view such offers as "power moves". Is the Gates Foundation an organization devoted to making power moves around the world?

I think the Gates Foundation is not regarded as a political organization.

Is Jack Ma regarded as a political organization?

I'm not getting the criteria here. They seem biased.

I don't have a "side". On one hand, I was born in mainland China. On the other hand, my parents were almost gunned down at Tiananmen square. We came to America to try to leave that behind, and yet still the senators presume I'm a CCP agent! All it took was the wrong kind of name and face. I could go on with more of my sob stories, but I can tell you won't take bullshit. The point is: I don't know or care about the ge…

Thanks for sharing your story. It's rough for immigrants and I can certainly sympathize. I've seen the news of extremely racist things done to Asians in America due to this virus.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I just have to add one thing: just like you, all ordinary people I've met have treated me just fine. I'm not worried about the couple nutjobs in every city going around beating up Asians, they're a rounding error.

When I say "they", I mean people with power, such as politicians and journalists. Naturally, this is a category that excludes Asians, by design. I'm willing to bet that I've interacted with these people far more than you have, and I can assure you that they're far more racist than ordinary people. Unfortunately, they also are in charge of telling ordinary people what to do and think.

I'm not American or Chinese, so I read your statement as: The American are people like you and me. Yes their government needs a lot of work, but people are people and we need to remember that more

I am neither American or Chinese either, I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

They are essentially saying, both governments need a lot of work.
