The event is not only about remembering an individual leader, but revisiting a decades-old relationship. 
Delegates' speeches evaluated Fidel's role in promoting Cuba-China ties, especially when Cuba became the first Latin American and Caribbean country to establish diplomatic relations with China.
Alberto Blanco Silva, Cuban Ambassador to China, said in his opening remarks that the revolutionary leader is a figure whose influence transcends borders, time, generations, and ideologies.
Blanco noted that Fidel's life was devoted to Cuba's independence, social justice, solidarity among people, Latin American and Caribbean integration, and Global South, the socialist cause, and a more just and equitable international order. 
Ambassador Blanco said that from Fidel, "we learned to practice solidarity through deeds, not merely beautiful words; to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and prudent in victory." For decades, Fidel's voice was echoed among developing countries, Blanco said, adding that Fidel promoted transformations that changed the course of Cuba's history. 
Blanco also regarded Fidel as a statesman with a universal vision. Recalling the South Summit held in Havana, Cuba, in 2000, Ambassador Blanco quoted Fidel, saying "Globalization is an objective reality, which reveals our conditions as passengers abroad the same vessel - this planet inhabited by us all."
With this metaphor, Fidel illustrated the urgent need to unite global efforts as an international community to save the planet and humanity, preserve the future of our children, and reduce the gap between the North and the South, Blanco continued. 
The Cuban Ambassador also noted Fidel's personal attention to China-Cuba relations. 
Fidel, on behalf of the historic leadership, took the initiative, during a mass rally on September 2, 1960, to consult the people and announce the sovereign decision to establish diplomatic relations with the Government of the People's Republic of China, making Cuba the first country in the Western Hemisphere to dare take that step, the ambassador said, switching his speech from Spanish to Chinese. 
Blanco added that it was Fidel who, with great frankness and courage, addressed the issue of the exclusion of the People's Republic of China and its admission to the United Nations in his speech before the United Nations on September 26, 1960. 
Fidel also consistently upheld the one-China principle and, through his speeches and reflections, condemned interference in China's internal affairs and attempts to undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the People's Republic of China. At the same time, Fidel helped foster mutual interest between Latin America and the Caribbean and China. 
Moreover, Fidel instructed that the book, The Long March, an account of a great military feat by Red Army in 1930s whose 90th anniversary we are commemorating this year, be published. Fidel knew its history in great detail and regarded it as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, Blanco recalled.
From Blanco's view, Fidel has helped forge a bond that today stands as an example of cooperation between a large country and a small one, based on equality and mutual respect. 
The diplomat said that today, the joint construction of a China-Cuba community with a shared future is an expression of the high-level of strategic trust achieved between "our countries and opens new opportunities to expand cooperation for the benefit of both our peoples." 
"One hundred years after his birth, Fidel Castro remains present in the memory of all those who are grateful to him and all those who defend just causes, both within and beyond Cuba," Blanco concluded.
One of the reasons why Fidel is still relevant today is that while people commemorate him, they are also reaffirming the value of the bilateral friendship, which Fidel forged and helped strengthen.

Ma served as Chinese Ambassador to Cuba from 2021 to 2024. 
Ma said he visited on numerous occasions the Fidel Castro Center, which is located not far from the Chinese Embassy, as well as museums that feature Fidel. 
"The more I learned about Comrade Fidel Castro, the more I was captivated by his noble character, outstanding qualities, and personal charisma," said Ma. 
Fidel visited China twice and warmly received several Chinese leaders on their visits to Cuba, making historic contributions to the development of China-Cuba relations. The Chinese people will never forget him, Ma said. 
In the current complex and evolving international landscape, China firmly supports Cuba in exploring a path of socialist development suited to its national conditions, firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and security and opposing foreign interference, and stands ready to work together with Cuba and the wider international community to jointly uphold international fairness and justice, Ma stressed.
。言犹在耳，一道由美国政府设置的行政壁垒——针对特定国家的“签证保证金”制度，正将多个参赛国球队、球迷置于尴尬境地，那句“最具包容性”的官方外宣，似乎成为了某种反讽。根据TA报道，在特朗普政府的签证保证金计划中，新增的受限制国家恰好包含了本届世界杯的参赛国：阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、佛得角、塞内加尔和科特迪瓦。

B | 其中，阿尔及利亚、佛得角、塞内加尔和科特迪瓦的公民自2026年1月21日起已受此政策约束，而针对突尼斯的规定将于4月2日生效。

C | 而且，这份签证金国家名单还在不断扩大，3月19日刚从之前的38个国家扩大为50个国家。所谓签证保证金，简单说就是，想来美国看世界杯，先交一笔“人身押金”，等你看完球离境时再退给你。

D | 具体来说，该计划要求名单内国家的商务（B-1）和旅游（B-2）签证申请者，在获批前需缴纳每人5000美元（儿童）、1万或1万5千美元（成人）不等的保证金。若申请人按期离境并遵守签证条款，保证金可退还。美国国务院的解释是，此举基于“一系列移民风险因素”，如高逾期居留率、信息审查缺陷等，旨在“保护美国边境”并“有效阻止非法移民”。这一举措的思路是，对那些打着看球旗号来美国的潜在非法移民，这一保证金足以成为一道限制门槛。

E | 但对于只想看球的普通球迷来说，保证金制度将给他们带来额外的经济负担。保证金是按人头收取的，不因家庭或团队旅行而减免，携带孩子、人数较多的大家庭，可能将面临几万甚至十几万美元的临时资金冻结。加上世界杯期间本就高昂的机票、门票与住宿费用，经济负担很大，这道签证金屏障，实质上可能将相当一部分普通球迷拒之门外。更为滑稽的是，该签证金制度，目前并未开设特殊豁免通道，也就是说，名单里世界杯参赛国的球员、教练、足协官员、球队工作人员、赞助商等，想来参赛，也要先交这笔“人身押金”。

F | 有消息称，国际足联正私下与美国政府交涉，希望通过发放官方邀请函的方式，为参赛球员、教练、工作人员等争取豁免，但目前该交涉前景未明。这意味着，历史上首次闯入世界杯的佛得角等国的球员，可能须先支付巨额“押金”，才能踏上梦想中的世界杯赛场。这无疑是对体育公平竞争精神的直接挑战，变相为来自特定国家的球队设置了额外的、与经济能力挂钩的参赛门槛。FIFA主席因凡蒂诺此前多次宣称，本届美加墨世界杯将是“最具包容性”的一届，但现在看美国的这波打脸操作，因凡蒂诺多少会有些尴尬。

G | 另外一个问题是，即使交了签证保证金，球迷能否拿到多次入境签证，依然是个问题。美国国务院倾向于向名单内国家公民发放单次入境签证，而非多次入境签证。然而，由于世界杯赛程横跨美、加、墨三国，像科特迪瓦、塞内加尔等队的比赛地涉及美国与加拿大，球员和随队球迷可能需要多次出入美国国境。

H | 只发单次签证，将带来巨大的操作困难和不确定性，进一步凸显了这一政策与大型国际赛事实际需求之间的脱节。美国方面的说法是，在领事官员最终决定签发单次还是多次入境签证时，会考虑申请人的“个人情况”。这意味着，有些球迷面临只能拿到一次入境签证、跨境看一场球就无法再次入境的困境，这对他们的世界杯计划显然是一个重大扰乱。已经有美国旅游业人士称，若政府不立即改革入境政策，简化流程、取消额外费用，美国在十年内最重要的全球曝光以及旅游提振机会，效果将会大打折扣。

I | 2025年，入境美国的国际游客在减少，美国国家旅游办公室（NTTO）的数据显示，全球很多国家和地区的赴美游客量都在减少，包括欧洲、非洲、亚洲和加勒比地区，加拿大、法国、中国、德国等主要客源国降幅显著，只有中东和中美洲部分地区的赴美旅行保持增长势头。按照美国旅游业的预计，世界杯可以吸引约100万国际游客赴美，但特朗普政府的一系列政策，包括签证保证金、250美元的“签证诚信费”、上调ESTA费用、加强审查等，已对美国的入境旅游业造成了打击。

J | 在世界杯这个全球数十亿目光聚焦的舞台上，如因签证问题导致部分国家球队参赛受阻、球迷无法到场，也将是极具破坏性的公关灾难。

K | 为避免这场“交押金”参赛、看球的尴尬，国际足联依然在进行斡旋，希望美国政府在政策执行上留出特殊操作空间，世界也在观望，美国是选择在最后时刻调整政策，以兑现“包容的体育盛会”承诺，还是坚持壁垒，在赢得一场边境管控象征性胜利的同时，输掉更多……（二头）
