China's illegal technology acquistiion was never mentioned during the public Senate hearing,
nor was China's proclitity to move arms and contraband into the Americas. This real China threat
is allowed to be spoken of only in secret intelligence reports, lest China be offended."
The China Threat

pg 89

Geopolitically, China sees its location in Panama as a place where it can establish a base of influence
in a small country, using political and commercial means, where it can work closely with its new ally Cuba to help those who oppose the United States in Latin America,
and where it might also be able to position weapons such as medium-range missiles
that potentially could be used to threaten the United States in times of crisis,
or times of the choosing of the Chinese regime."

she is a good conservative poster....she is just naive on the situation in Panama.

Naïve she’s not. Very bright and informed she is.

….and where it might also be able to position weapons such as medium-range missiles

Notice the word “might.”
