Este artículo se centra en las experiencias tarifarias de África-Cuba-China (ACCh)dentro de la geopolítica del Movimiento de Países No Alineados (MNOAL), atrapado en la red de la internacionalización de la pertenencia, la propiedad del estado y los rasgos de supervivencia continental. China amplifica el socialismo con características chinas en la escena global y los espacios geopolíticos internacionales; Cuba encarna realidades socialistas con matices comunistas; y África se extiende en la línea de plomada del socialismo, el comunismo y el capitalismo con características decadentes del Ubuntu panafricano. Sus experiencias tarifarias postulan la unidad en medio de una amenaza terrible por parte de Estados Unidos. El artículo sostiene que las realidades en el equilibrio de la amenaza compartida confirman la ideación del Movimiento de Países No Alineados sobre la táctica de diplomacia de ponerse al día. También demuestra cómo los aranceles condicionaron a los estados a eludir el dominio de las grandes potencias en medio de tratados y amenazas existentes. Por lo tanto, por qué y cómo China salta a ser un socio más atractivo dentro de las realidades tarifarias de la geopolítica del Movimiento de Países No Alineados requiere una racionalización adecuada. Especialmente, cómo el seguimiento de la diplomacia de ponerse al día ha posicionado el contrapeso como prosperidad compartida; y por qué las asociaciones y cooperaciones entre estos actores no están motivando al MNOAL a tomar represalias. Esta investigación utiliza un análisis descriptivo cualitativo sobre casos africano-cubanos para fortalecer la diplomacia intra e interregional de los estados tarifados del MNOAL. Ofrece un espectro para (re)pensar las amenazas África-Cuba-China que obstaculizan el multilateralismo; especialmente cómo África ve la relación con Cuba, y viceversa, dentro de la geopolítica tarifaria del BRI. De manera observable, esta situación ha continuado obstaculizando la realización de una asociación liberada entre estos actores dentro del MNOAL. Explica la motivación en el (contra)equilibrio contra Estados Unidos; y la naturaleza de las asociaciones y la diplomacia de cooperación dentro de los estados tarifados del MNOAL.
