Not exactly.

Any ship that docks in Cuba is barred entry to US ports in the next 180 days.

The US can also sanction foriegn companies that trade with Cuba.

It's not a blockade but it has a chilling effect on trade.

Supplementary point: here in New Zealand we also have Single Buyer.

That means for all medicine there is one buyer, who is able to negotiate bulk pricing with international drug companies.

I think you're right.

I used to teach first year undergraduates and the first time they heard the American term "people of colour" invariably led to a lot of confusion and offence because many of them (especially PoC themselves) initially thought it was insulting.

I mean I'm not exactly offended by it, but if someone uses it that's a "note to self, this person is most likely misogynist" moment for sure.

That would be confusing. I want to be able to tell govt.nz apart from the US one.

Pretty sure they would pick China. Big open spaces, plenty of tech, large population size, consistent leadership.

I did that. It was amazing how many people tried to make it into some kind of sex call.
