## Resource

Cuba just received a massive 15,000-ton rice shipment from China — the first of 60,000 tons promised to ease severe food shortages. President Diaz-Canel vowed it will reach every province, school, and hospital. Amid ongoing US embargo pressures and recent oil cuts from Venezuela, this aid is critical. China’s ambassador called it their largest food donation to Cuba in years, while Beijing also pushed back against US indictments of Raul Castro — underscoring the geopolitical stakes behind this lifeline for the Cuban people.
