To play Devil's Advocate nobody has tried to kill Xi Jinping even once; let alone three times.
But then again that just further drives the point home, doesn't it?

how come the United States would happily try to assassinate someone like Castro 600+ times but not try even once with Xi? Is it because it's too late to change China's trajectory?
- They're incompetent and they can't get to him
- While they paint him as the devil the US economy depends on China. Imagine what would happen if any US assassination attempts on Xi were to reach media and China
def main reason lol. the US NEEDS china for the treats. The only thing americans miss about cuba is cigars.
It was personal with Castro, he played the worst cold war ghouls in washington like a fiddle and won.
tbf i don't think the us is trying to kill miguel diaz-canel either. probably has to do with the fact that assassination isn't generally super useful, at least not against established, stable nations
The empire is too greedy for even short-term profit, why make someone a martyr when you can martyr and occupy entire country to exploit forever? It was actually one of the reasons Cuba moved on to imprisonment post-revolution, because making your class enemies martyr unite them. Cuban revolutionaries used to just line class enemies against the wall. It was a little disagreement between Fidel and Che on execution because Fidel wanted to spare noncombatant enemies but Che said line them up.
the usa only respects one thing 
I imagine that China's security forces makes even Cuba's look like boy scouts.
Cuba can't retaliate the same way that China can.
Simply put, China has a formidable navy, long-range airforce and most importantly, nukes. Cuba doesn't.
indeed it does
I think that's the point
It's so weird that the Trump photo was taken from a position where someone could clearly pop him. Total incompetence.
Whoever took that photo had an angle and shoulda taken it.
i didnt see it the first time, but now that i look at it again… HOLY SHIT THE OPPORTUNITY WAS RIGHT THERE
Same sane country whose population lectures the other one for being authoritarian and dangerous.
The only bad things they know to accuse others of doing is what they see around themselves.
he's the TV guy, he's GOTTA know how bad that looks, which has to mean that he's spooked.
nah he's victimmaxxing the conservative are into that these days if anything they think "look what precautions they made our president have to do"
The individualist fascist cowering alone vs. the collectivist communist hanging out and having a good time.
American security culture vs Chinese security culture
“What? I see no difference here.”

But people really hate them and are just begging for a regime change, we promise, let us do a regime change bro
Also, here's how things are going in the capitalist paradise of occupied Korea https://asiatimes.com/2019/12/75-of-young-want-to-escape-south-korean-hell/
@☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ Yeah it's batshit insanity down there even six years later. Westerners glorify it because Kpop dweebs are the modern weeaboo — the RoK has very successfully exported its culture to the west — but people who actually live there, or even pay attention to the politics, know it's a shithole.
Now that the US is putting economic pressure on them, things are going to get a lot worse. The regime might actually collapse at this rate.
