On the contrary, China is what supports our own regime and they are far more capitalist than we are. I'm in China as I type. The US could only dream of being this capitalist (again).

Those who get the warm and fuzzies from interacting with regular Cubans, remember, they have to deal with the consequences of your contact after you leave. You don't. It was very easy to forget, while traveling in the real E. Germany back in the 80's, that everyone was being watched and the gov't. really does keep a list of who's naughty and nice. Being able to leave whenever you want gives you a whole different perspective than those who can't leave and will get a visit from the secret popo later on for having been seen talking to you. Doesn't mean they're going to get into real trouble, but don't think getting invited to a private home for dinner and then having an honest talk about history and politics won't be noticed by anyone else. Ask me how I know.
