Cuba has been fighting for so many years. Even though COVID-19 was sanctioned by the United States in many ways during the epidemic, it was once caught in the dilemma of internal troubles and foreign invasion, but it still firmly followed the socialist road with Cuban characteristics. Its determination to develop socialism is evident.
In the future, Cuba will continue to uphold and develop socialism. As pointed out in the report of the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the purpose of "updating" the socialist economic model is to improve and consolidate socialism. At present, Cuban socialism is facing great opportunities and favorable conditions for reform and development, but we can't ignore the challenges and obstacles that the reform and the international community have to face: the impact of the epidemic and the sanctions imposed by the United States.
The COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on Cuba's tourism and medical care, and its economy has also suffered serious setbacks.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread all over the world. While the international community urgently needs solidarity and cooperation to deal with the crisis, the United States has further suppressed Cuba by tightening financial sanctions against Cuba, reducing commercial flights between the two countries, preventing Cuba from obtaining oil, preventing Cuba from purchasing medical supplies from the United States and third countries, discrediting and hindering medical cooperation between Cuba and other countries, and canceling ancient remittance business. All three major sources of foreign exchange earned by Cuba have been spared.
If the Cuban people can get rid of interference at home and abroad, handle contradictions in all aspects, create favorable domestic and international conditions for reform, and give full play to the superiority and vitality of the socialist system through ideological and institutional changes, it will not only solve the economic difficulties and development problems of Cuban research itself, but also provide experience and examples for the world socialist movement.
