(Caribbean Life) “Chinese influence in the Caribbean and Latin America has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Considering the uncertainties regarding recent activities or the lack of involvement from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in the region, China might extend its influence even further, for it has undoubtedly infiltrated the Caribbean Community,” Caribbean Life reports.
“Ten Caribbean nations, including Cuba, Jamaica, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda, and the Dominican Republic, have joined the Beijing’s Belt Road Initiative since 2022,” according to the report
“The strong presence of the Chinese is obvious. Their entry heightened investment and commerce in both the CARICOM nations and Central America. China cannot be undermined or even restrained because it is expanding without any alternatives.”
