Will Cuba Become the New China?

Fidel Castro's brother, Raul, is showing signs that he is willing to open up Cuba's economy to her people. Obviously, you can't draw any firm conclusions from one example, but this could be an indication that Raul will pursue policies similar to those of China: statist economic policies, with a reasonable amount of economic freedom (unless the State feels your resources are better used elsewhere), combined with strong repression of personal liberties.
