The Chinese Communist Party is sending paramilitary trainers to Cuba. ADN Cuba, a Spanish-language media platform focusing on Cuba, obtained exclusive photos showing a Chinese military officer training Cuba’s black berets unit. The unit, formally known as the National Special Brigade, has videos and photos showing them attacking protestors during the recent Cuban protest.
Joining me are Gelet Martinez Fragela, the director of ADN Cuba, and Orlando Gutierrez Boronat, an exiled Cuban author. Martinez-Fragela believes the black berets are receiving training from the same armed police used against the Hong Kong protestors in 2019, and they may be exporting their tactics to the Cuban government.
