I searched various Chinese sports sites related to the CBA and WCBA and found no information about Cuba. I even searched Baidu and found none again.

It's hard to understand staff's NT strategy : there are only 5 plays who compete at last asian championship in the team who is playing now in preparation matchs in USA . If you compare with olympic's team only 3 players . If you change more than 50% of the roaster every year it's impossible to be competitive and to accumulate experience . Son Gao , Shuang Zhao , Xiojia Chen ,Wen Lu for ex would play for NT or no chances ?
