China’s Inroads in Latin America and the Caribbean Demand a New Strategy

As Taiwan loses another diplomatic ally in Nicaragua, it's time for the Biden administration to consider how to balance against China in its own backyard.

caragua’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally dropped its diplomatic recognition of Taiwan and established relations with China last week. “The People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government that represents all of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory,” the ministry said in a statement.

The decision is a major blow to the island-state and a major diplomatic victory for Beijing. The change in diplomatic recognition also indicates that China continues to make inroads into Latin America and the Caribbean at the expense of the United States in the new Cold War in which Beijing and Washington are engaged.

Only fourteen countries still formally recognize Taiwan. That could change if Honduras was to flip, which is a distinct possibility. The situation becomes even bleaker if any of the remaining Caribbean and Latin American countries can be flipped. Those remaining loyal (thus far) to Taiwan are Honduras and Guatemala in Central America, Paraguay in South America, and Belize, Haiti, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.

Does he just ignore their inroads into North America? I think the new strategy is already being enacted, and it’s totally unacceptable.

Never mind Biden. Why would these countries want to get involved in a hostile business takeover deal with our enemy? They know they’re better off dealing with us but we’re the only game in town up to now. I think it’s just a poke in our eye they know they can get away with. The Chicoms overfish in South American waters and the governments down there know China has a billion people to feed. That plus 500 million. Then there’s their business deals with African countries. Venezuela and Nicaragua will pay the price-they’re happy to because they hate us. It’s the ‘democratic’ ones that want to be more ‘independent’.

The Biden strategy is to hand over anything and everything in order to get 10% for the Big Guy.

I see what you mean but at this point Biden doesn’t even comprehend what 10% is. Biden’s handlers/puppet masters, including Obama are pulling his strings.

It’s over. We might as well get used to our new place in this world. We sat on our ‘lead’ about 20 years too long and didn’t even bother to fight our subversives. Game over. Time to deal with the consequences.

The POTUS manchurian Clinton/Obama/buyden continuum has itself always been a Beijing/Moscow axis puppet continuum.

That they can at least partially influence and determine the Clinton/Obama/buyden continuum in America means they can to significant degree pull this junk off almost anywhere globally.

And they have.

Ironically, in trade and finance policy it appears the EU is playing harder with China than we are willing to.

A month ago, the EU enacted significant penalties on Chinese trade - US buyden puppeteers would not go along with the EU !

Speaks volumes...

Without so much as a whisper, we have actually given over much of the South and West Pacific. And regardless of our history or the fact the locals are being systematically turned over to the totalitarian communist Beijing (which is currently allied with Moscow) -

As well, all of this turnover to Beijing in the South Pacific is putt iij ng n.v the Chinese PLA forces between the US and Australia.

Geographically and geopolitically near unfathomable.

The mass media really is almost entirely covering all of this up.

Russian and Chinese communist are clearly determining US executive branch policy domestically and internationally.

The EU has recently been much harder on China than the US regarding trade policy.

Rehardless of all the intentionally loud, pervasive, and fake Russia, Russia, Russia drama hype, as stated above, it is obvious the Biden puppet and puppeteers will only do what is best for China and Russia.

The Obama and Clinton administration’s comprehensively supported massive Russia and China friendly economic and military tech policy, and transferred wealth, large scale military technology, and not so quietly facilitated Moscow/CIS and Beijing military and strategic projection throughout the ME, Eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Persian Gulf, HOA, Northern African region, all of Latin and Sputh America, and just globally.

Democrat leftist Roosevelt gave away Eastern Europe to the Soviets and ultimately East Asia to the Communists — the hard left marxist manchurian continuum of Clinton/Obama/Buyden gave away and subordinated America and the much of the rest of the world!
