Two years ago, the U.S. government began loudly questioning a Chinese push to purchase an island off El Salvador's coast, where a Chinese company was proposing to build a deep water port and manufacturing zone.
The American objections seemed to have had an impact, as a political backlash in El Salvadorstalled the project. But the Chinese were not deterred. After what U.S. officials publicly asserted was a successful Chinese effort to bribe El Salvadoran politicians, the project is now moving forward. NBC News has obtained a power point presentation by a state-owned Chinese firm called "Shared Opportunities, Shared Future," that sketches out one version of the proposal.
American intelligence and military officials say the port project would give China a significant economic and strategic foothold in what has traditionally been an American sphere of influence. It is one of many examples of how China is making its power and influence felt across Latin America and the Caribbean in a way that officials say is harmful to U.S. interests, and via methods that the U.S. cannot employ.
"Chinese influence is global, and it is everywhere in this hemisphere, and moving forward in alarming ways," said Adm. Craig Faller, the head of U.S. Southern Command, in an exclusive interview with NBC News.

Is The Big Guy, Jao, getting his 10%?
I guess we’ve abandoned the Monroe Doctrine?
How does China bot have growing power in the White Basement?
Ditch’s office in the Senate?
bot -> not
Pretty smart. We demand they take back their MS-13 types and they in turn look to our enemy.
we gave up a base 400mi from china(bagram) while they are building a base ~1500mi from DC...
The problem is how do we compete? China has essentially infinite manpower and infinite money.
Somewhere like El Salvador wants a new airport, canal, or presidential palace and Comrade Xi will provide. All he wants is a mortgage on the entire country.
Our only responses are to go bankrupt outbidding the Chinese, or send in the marines and get bogged down in another third world quagmire.
Thought I would share a dream or vision I had as a kid around 62 years ago that I will never forget and neither has my siblings. I had also told my parents. I saw myself looking at a huge plane with many windows that had landed fairly close to our house. There were people in each window bobbing their head in unison side to side keeping their eyes focused on me. They all looked alike. Chinese. It was a dream that forever would come to mind over the years. They have landed . . . and for some time. It’s only one of two dreams/visions I remember.
The Monroe Doctrine was all about America exerting its ‘sphere of influence’ in the western hemisphere.

The doctrine asserted that the New World and the Old World were to remain distinctly separate spheres of influence.[4]
Personal experience, there are FARMS owned in Mexico by CCP that send bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers from the Narco rich zone of Culiacan...has been doing this for several years. Not new.
*The Monroe Doctrine. the New World and the Old World were to remain distinctly separate spheres of influence*
Not true. Blondes have more fun.
Yes, and the Chinese—and everybody else—are rolling on the floor laughing! The Americans are too busy trying to figure out which bathroom to use to notice.
What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this Our allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border and granting them rights American cannot recieve in Mexico even when legally migrating there. We have avoided recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitition while legally residing in Mexico.That includes denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.
In Africa Chinese tried this a few times they’ve spent a bunch of money and then been removed at gunpoint. AFTER everything was built
Methinks they’re going to have a much tougher time controlling foreign countries and they think they’re going to
That was Julius Neyrere. Tanzania I believe.
Then there’s Sadat kicking out the Russians after they built the Aswan Dam. Heh heh.
If you’re gonna twist the Monroe Doctrine into the Marilyn Monroe doctrine without pictures... well, that’s just plain impolite.
U R funny
