As America Blunders and Wanes, Communist China Is Buying Up Caribbean, Latin American Countries

It’s not just huge swaths of American farmland China is buying, they are buying up the Western Hemisphere.

While America debates pronouns and extinguishes “woman” as a sex, Communist China has plowed more than $600 million into Jamaica’s economy, equal to one-tenth of its gross domestic product, making it the biggest recipient of Chinese cash in the Caribbean, and the sixth largest recipient in Latin America.

Think Russia in Cuba was a problem? Mere child’s play.

It is, after all, the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the nations — and wouldn’t a Jamaican shift away from Britain and the West make for a grand gold anniversary gift?

As a sovereign nation, Jamaica in theory has the right to engage with any country it pleases — though the Monroe Doctrine might come into play. If clever, Jamaica might even consider playing powers off one another to maximize its own economic and political interests.
