Biden administration scrambles to forestall China’s ambitions in the Caribbean
WASHINGTON—China and Cuba are negotiating to establish a new joint military training facility on the island, sparking alarm in Washington that it could lead to the stationing of Chinese troops and other security and intelligence operations just 100 miles off Florida’s coast, according to current and former U.S. officials.
Discussions for the facility on Cuba’s northern coast are at an advanced stage but not concluded, U.S. intelligence reports suggest. The Biden administration has contacted Cuban officials to try to forestall the deal, seeking to tap in to what it thinks might be Cuban concerns about ceding sovereignty. Beijing’s effort to establish a military training facility in Cuba hasn’t been previously reported.
The White House declined to comment.

U.S. officials said reference to the proposed new training facility in Cuba is contained in highly classified new U.S. intelligence, which they described as convincing but fragmentary.

Most worrying for the U.S.: The planned facility is part of China’s “Project 141,” an initiative by the People’s Liberation Army to expand its global military base and logistical support network, one current and one former U.S. official said.

Heck, young Chinese males are coming across the open borders. They’re already here.
Trudeau is already letting the Chinese train in Canada and Chomo Joe is letting Chinese walk across the Southern border.
All twelve of them. A drop in the bucket to what we have now.
That’s why we enlisted the Mafia to protect our East Coast ports.
When you ignore your borders, other countries ignore your borders.
True, my point was, back then when the saboteurs were caught no one cared about their gender or why they were in country and deserved understanding, they were quickly dealt with and executed versus today where we welcome invaders with open arms.
Will the Chinese defectors be subject to wet foot dry foot policy?
Maybe one of them will steal their new hypersonic cruise torpedo, stealth bomber, submarine aircraft carrier and defect.
It’s actually funny how stupid and criminal the political class and American government has become. This is all self imposed and I fear only going to get worse as the hegemony of American empire collapses. Expand nato to the Russian border and they are SHOCKED when Russia pushes back. Arm Taiwan and manipulate their politics to split from China and again SHOCKED when China pushes back by giving America a dose of their own medicine. America’s leading export is fiat money, whereas China actually makes things. And when China becomes weary of being America’s colonial bitch factory the political class that effectively worked at de-industrializing America for decades become SHOCKED how dependent we are on their productivity. No one believes anything America says anymore…not the citizens, not foreign governments. This will end poorly.
Your thoughtful post is appreciated.
It’s only fair.
Yes. Cuba is now a Chinese belt and road country, which means they are now a chinese colony. They have had troops in Canada for years and they are now working to colonize Mexico. At a certain point the cartels will be told to stand down or be eliminated. The chicoms don’t want the competition.
China already has 18 countries in South America and in the Carribean area in their belt and road club. Cuba is just one of them. Our “leaders” who are bought off will not push back on any of this.
