China’s Caribbean Strategy

26 April 2006

THE TRUMPET (BARBADOS)--What is of special interest to those who are aware of China’s long-term strategy to take over control of the world’s most strategic seaways is that the Chinese have moved, in recent years, to significantly penetrate the sea gateways to the south of the United States within the Caribbean. With Panama, already under Chinese control, in the process of being upgraded to take larger vessels, and Freeport in the Bahamas having been developed in recent years by the Chinese into a massive container terminal, China is now moving to extend its Caribbean sea-gate control. Of particular note is the transition-taking place in Grenada. What the Communists failed to do during the 1970s revolution in Grenada, they are now achieving through Chinese involvement in ongoing reconstruction and development in that island nation.
