Chinese Presence in the Caribbean, New Global Power Encroaching on US Hegemony?

Eh. China is going to lap us multiple times over in terms of quantity on land, sea, and air. They have enough personnel to man a Navy that's much larger than the one that they have now, and they already have a bigger one than us at the moment.

Army wise? They could feasibly employ a draft and have a standing army of 100 million. That's entirely too fukking much to fight.

But nukes tho. Not that I believe any future president will have the balls to pull the trigger

The funny part in all of this is casuse of Americans own consumerism they are funding china to undermine their own government...

You got companies selling out the country and then Americans supporting those same companies that take jobs from them and move them overseas. Only to then build up China's economy and industries while the US economy and industries go to shyt..

shyt like giving a killer money to buy a gun and bullet to later shoot you in the head with said gun and bullet.

Big Bizness over everthingggg. The American way

You have so many people in the US from Politicians, Entertainers, Athletes and Business people on the take hoping to make money off China.

But they don't realize once China gets completely self-sufficient they'll take all their intellectual property and kick them out of the country.

The difference between China and the US if a Chinese citizen betrays their country its life in prison or execution. Meanwhile a US Business person or Politician can betray the US and nothing happens to them.

They have 50% of the world's population they can do that. America would basically lock up all its productive citizens by doing the same and be a broke country in no time

America's lack of promoting small businesses will be their downfall

That levels the playing field and decreases monopolies and corruption

this is why trump and cacs hate china so much. China learned from the fall of the USSR and their plan always was to undermine US hegemony by leveraging their labor and capital.

Basically and China been in the West Indies for decades now this ain’t new

Interesting

In this context, Barbados’ recent drive to remove Queen Elizabeth as its Head of State (the country joined BRI last year) has also been blamed on China by Tom Tugendhat, the chairman of the British Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Select Committee. He accused China of using “infrastructure investment and debt diplomacy” to pressure Barbados into making such move – even though there has been a public opinion turn towards Republicanism in Barbados for over 15 years. This can be interpreted as part of a narrative war. The fact that China is lending billions of dollars to other Caribbean Commonwealth nations – these are nations who still have the British monarch as their Head of State – has certainly prompted concern amid British and Western political elites.
