All while the world’s current top superpower is right beside them, sees them as an enemy, and has a still ongoing embargo on them for 60 years now to prevent them from trading with other countries. That’ll hopefully change once China’s Belt and Road Initiative is complete though.
Imagine what it could do without the US embargo with those massive advantages. Precisely why the embargo is there in the first place.

“Communism” hasn’t existed yet. Socialism has, and it’s great. Cuba for example has free healthcare, no homelessness or starvation, and enough free high level education to provide Italy with doctors during the pandemic.
