Cuba wasn't about Pershing missiles, those came long afterwards. The problem for USSR missile defense back then were Jupiter MRBMs in Italy and Turkey. Freedom of navigation trips on the West Coast certainly could be done by China, but it's not exactly an exact match for USN FON in the South China Sea, as there are hardly contested islands on the western seaboard or even around Hawaii. So it'd be an obvious scam.
