Article critiques[edit]

This article neglects to include any Cuban points of view, aside from a cursory mention of anti-US protests upon Obama's March 2016 visit.

In addition, the writers seem to assume a consensus on what "democracy" signifies. The context heavily implies that a "free" market is necessary for democracy or implementation of democratic principles.

There are also allegations of human rights violations in Cuba, yet the authors make no reference to historical events in order to substantiate these claims.

Another issue is the use of a quote by Al Fox, president of the Alliance for Responsible Cuba Policy. The citation is broken, and the link returns no address. Additionally, the quote is opaque due to its lack of context. Those who included it should not assume that the reader is well-versed in Chinese-Taiwanese relations; this background knowledge is necessary to understand Fox's analogy. Reference to a "South Florida family feud" is also opaque and goes unexplained. The text immediately following this quote does not provide further context, nor does it directly relate to or explain what Fox says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerickson32 (talk • contribs) 00:11, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
