according to the bullet points of the article, China has already ingratiated themselves with a contract to 'train' Guinea's police force, while the US provides oil tech. So the corrupt leader and his son like to play both sides.

U.S. government lawyers accused the president's son - whose Instagram account shows him meeting world leaders such as the Pope and Israel's prime minister; playing polo, or posing on a private jet - of amassing a fortune of more than $300 million 'through corruption and money laundering'.

I thought this was Hunter!

Link to Wikipedia article on Equatorial Guinea:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_Guinea?wprov=sfti1

Brutal dictator (since 1979), corrupt officials, extreme wealth disparity despite oil resources, small population, capital is on island off of the coast. Perfect set-up for China.

War is logistics. A long supply line spells disaster.

WWII war in the Pacific shows what happens if you get too far from your supply base and the enemy has air superiority.

We should not accept China anywhere in North or South America but even if they did get a foothold it would only be an illusion of a threat if total war became a reality.

Oh my God ! China wants to build a base on the Atlantic ? How many does the US have within close proximity of China ???

A few well placed yuan just might convince the leaders of one of the world's poorest,and most corrupt,nations to cooperate. I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it...the decision of the world's advanced nations (the US,Europe,Japan,etc) in the early 1980s to open their ports to Chinese made goods will eventually prove to be catastrophic for world civilization.

If you know what's going on with the Ports America deal, you'll know why I posted the above link.

They’re going to build a base that is thousands of miles away from their country, with a supply line that runs through seas controlled by potential enemies like Australia, India, and Vietnam. In the event of war the base would be untenable and useless.

Kinda meaningless ‘threat to Eastern Seaboard’ when China has a hypersonic missile now that can release another missile in hypersonic flight.

[GOPJ]

To pull that off Chinese gonna have to buy a lot more of Hunter’s paintings - kick in some girls for the Big Gug - cough up more diamonds for left-wing traitors living in DC obsessing bout ‘gender equality’... It’s a big order.
