Cool story bro. Thanks for assuming I'm an idiot. Fidel did declare war on the US, so I'd say that ethically speaking that made him a legitimate target. Yes, the US had a pragmatic policy of "we don't assassinate" (nominally because we don't want our president to be the target of assassination), so I will concede that it's a tad hypocritical.
A better example would have been like dole wars, or maybe tacit support of pinochet but that's kinda dated and the US is definitely trending towards less of that shit.
If china's like "well the US did it so it should be ok for us", the correct response is: yeah, so? Be better.
