From Fox News: China’s growing presence in America’s backyard could grant the communist country access to Florida’s coast, coinciding with a dramatic rise in Chinese national border encounters.
The Caribbean region, also known as “America’s third border” due to its proximity to the U.S., has been financially backed by China in maritime logistics and infrastructure projects in recent years.
“I think the Chinese are trying to gain influence in a region which is very close to the American homeland,” Gordon G. Chang, an author and expert on U.S.-China relations told Fox News Digital.
Chang pointed to the $3.4-billion Freeport Container port project in the Bahamas, just 87 miles east of Palm Beach, Florida.
A report from the House Foreign Affairs Committee found that China invested over $10 billion in six Caribbean countries between 2005 and 2022.
In October 2023, retired marketing consultant Beth Cole referenced the House Foreign Affairs Committee report and warned, “They’re already knocking on the door in my corner of the country. Plus 100’s of fighting age men are pouring across the border. With their prominence in Central and South America it’s definitely an uneasy feeling.”

Over 180,000 Chinese illegal aliens entered the United States during the Biden administration. Chang noted that about two-thirds of those were military-age single men, traveling alone, and claiming they don’t speak English.
“Border Patrol has noticed that in some of these packs, they’re coming across in packs between 4 and 15, that everybody in the pack has an identical kit,” Chang said, adding, “That is an ominous sign.”

“China has built a $3.4 billion port that is within 87 miles of Florida’s east coast. The facility could become a Chinese naval base in an instant,” Chang warned.

General Mike Flynn announced during a speech last month that China’s trade with Latin America in 2000 was $12 billion. By 2022, it was $495 billion.
“Had the privilege of attending the Western Hemisphere Security Forum on January 18th, where I discussed the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Panama and the Caribbean—a serious threat to U.S. national security. I also touched on the ongoing conflict between globalism and freedom,” Flynn explained.
