Default Re: Cuba Readies for U.S. Tourists With Luxury Hotels
I think relative geography could play a significant effect here also. Let's face it - it's a lot easier for everything, including ideas, to cross the Florida Straits than cross the Pacific Ocean. Proximity lends itself to osmosis. Also, those ideas may have been denied to the Cuban people for 50 years, but they are not totally foreign to them. In China, democracy - even in a flawed, "Batista"-esque form - is historically unknown.
