Experts are saying that the US is falling sadly short in its efforts to contain growing Chinese influence in Latin America, as more and more ties are being formed between China and countries in the region.
China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” continues to gain traction all around the world. The communist behemoth nation, who has recently struck a deal with the Taliban , is also continuing to vie for economic hegemony in Central and South America and in the Caribbean. According to the Daily Caller , Gordon G. Chang, the author of the book “The Coming Collapse of China,” stated in an interview:
“There’s a lot of infrastructure that Beijing is building. It makes those countries dependent on China and we should be making sure that the debt trap traps not the debtor but the creditor. [China] goes in and just buys and corrupts elites like it does everywhere.”
“People have known about the problem of China’s penetration of a number of these countries and for a very long time we paid more attention to the Middle East or Asia or even Europe and we’ve neglected, traditionally, not only Latin America but also the Caribbean.”
“We have the Chinese building a container port … in the Bahamas, a $3 billion project, which seems to me to be much too large to be justified as an economic measure,” mentioned Chang, bringing up a specific case of how a Chinese presence so near the US can potentially become a strategic threat. Chang continues, mentioning that, in many possible scenarios where the Chinese end up seizing the port, “we’ll have a Chinese naval base 87 miles east of Palm Beach.”
“This is not a good story for us. It just seems to me we’ve had a failure of leadership across the board and that’s Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives. It’s just a failure to understand what’s going on and to defend the American republic.”” concluded Chang.
Mario Duarte, former Secretary of Strategic Intelligence of Guatemala, concurred, saying, “Not a single diplomat in the region ever approached the governments here in trying to push back on China. The […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
