"China has inked a new deal with leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean to deepen ties across almost all areas of society in what one analyst likened to a plot to 'take over' the region. As part of the deal, Beijing has committed to supplying the region with 'civilian' nuclear technology, helping to develop 'peaceful' space programmes, building 5G networks of the kind Washington warns will be used to spy on people, and to pumping in cheap loans and financing for 'elaborate development plans.'…" link

Hardly surprising its exactly what they've done everywhere else. Not sure some of the investments are terribly sound. Also sooner or later their tendency to use the investment to fund Chinese expatriate rather than indigenous jobs may start to haunt them. Cuba seems to be getting surprising little despite being brother Socialists…. oh wait China isn't anymore! |

I think you mean brother dictatorships. |

I believe they have one to take over the world, and appear to be working hard to make that a reality. Not good news for those of us who love our freedom and democracy. |

The PRC/CCP has plans to take over the entire World … Latin America is just one of many that will be absorbed by the Chinese. |

Deng Xiaoping actually read and understood Marx's writings. To give a brief and admittedly over-simplified summary, Marx said that communism can't arise until the forces of production are maximized everywhere in the world, and the way that the forces of production are maximized is through capitalism. In 1977 when Deng came to power, the forces of production were not close to maximized in China, Russia, and actually most of the world. So he set in motion a plan to convert China to a capitalist economy under the domination of the Chinese Communist Party. China still has a long way to go to raise the forces of production throughout the country, but it has grown them enormously since then. Meanwhile, China is trying to do the same in the third world, for the same purpose of setting the stage for an eventual communist revolution. The short-term result is likely to be that China will be responsible for raising standards of living in the third world. In the middle term, China will be responsible for extensive environmental damage while it does that. |

The only production China will want out of those countries will be oil and food. The countries will get little in the way of manufacturing capability (that would compete with what will become their main supplier of goods.) And bribes are cheaper than sending in troops… |

Well, when the idiotic mr. Clinton opened to China, despite what had appened at Tien An Men,didn't saw this happening? we've given our tech to them, and now this will backfire on our lives, do you think they won't stop here? Macedonia is almost bankrupt, and can't refund the money lended her from China to build an enormous, for that country, hyghway. Guess what will happen…. |

"…The only production China will want out of those countries will be oil and food…" Allow me to add "minerals" to the list…
Also "Military" Bases and Fishing Rights / Permits…

I thought it was Mr. Nixon who opened to China? China was granted "most favored nation" status in 1979. Mr. Clinton pushed to change the PRC's status to permanent normal trade relations, relieving it from annual status review. |

And as we see … the rest is history. The PRC are students of Sun Tzu. The US leadership in the past & currently may have not remembered that ? |
Thresher01 | 07 Jan 2022 2:42 p.m. PST |
Both Nixon and Clinton are to blame. |
