I'd say the treatment of Cuba has some parallels to the Taiwan situation.

And there have been many comments in recent months pointing out that China is actually acting with a lot more integrity on the international stage as the US with regards to, for example, the Paris Climate Treaty.

With regards to Panama: let's not forget that the US actively supported Noriega until they changed their mind.

Yes, all good points. Although I think (hope?) the policies of Trump are not representative of past or future US policy.

Nobody, group, or nation is all good or bad, it's always somewhere on a slider between the two. China does many admirable things that the US would do well to follow. But I think it's also clear that the US ranks better on that sliding scale.
