The spice lies in "through every channel". Where is Western journalism when it comes down to something else than "what does Putin today?", "the economy rises" or "fight in the Middle East - we know who shot!"? I only catched that hint through a satire show (!), the research after resulted in it wasn't a joke. There was no trace in the ever brainwashing everyone-uses-it-to-sleep television, which literally throws headlines like the above mentioned at you every day. - So this tells another tale how they keep it with the codex of "free press" and "quality of journalism" in Western hemispheres.
For such actions, one needs to understand the way and purpose how Socialist countries trade. It also was a method used in the days of Cold War. "We give you that, for that we get in return". Not only was it a method of trade, but also a way to get hold of goods which the stronger Socialist countries couldn't produce themselves (food is a good example). Purchasing from the Western world was not possible, either because of embargoes (Cuba) or because the West traded their currencies way beyond in value than their own (just on the purpose "BECAUSE"). It would have been very expensive. I was told the GDR worked together with Congo, I think it was for fruits from warmer regions of the earth (a famous point of dispute because the GDR couldn't offer some) - but the thing crumbled because then the war began in that region. I also heard they worked together with Mozambique and Vietnam - but not in the way of trading goods, they educated skilled workers for them in the GDR. People who wanted to "join" (or however you say that) that programms signed a treaty that they go to the GDR, receive the nessecary education and work experience for a certain amount of years, and then they move back home to make use of their achieved skills. For that they also received things in return, be it goods or other things. They also did what you call "development aid", if they received something in return (I think that was the project in Congo). In Vietnam you still take notice of these measures. The GDR urged to receive coffee from there and the programm started to take on fruits by the end of the eightees. Too late for the GDR, but these days Vietnam is one of the greatest coffee exporters in the world.
Cuba had already done such actions also in these days. They made the trade with Venezuela "doctors for oil". Cuba send doctors, in return they received oil from Venezuela. Cuba actually, as news reports from Latin America say, does much better these days than in Cold War. Because of the countries who also turned red and also because European Western countries start to doubt the embargo they share with the United States. They want their piece of South America too and Havana (as a harbor) may be the gate to it.
