Super Powers have been unleashing their corporate strategy Teams to politically conquer and financially control many smaller nations around the globe. Most nations are in need of infrastructure rebuilds as the passing of time has worn out their roads, bridges, power plants, transit hubs, electrical grids and harbor bases. China has been expanding its outreach in a well planned manner, incorporating both political and financial incentives to their smaller “partners” while they manage and build these structures. To China these construction projects are part of a greater, broader geopolitical strategy connecting China to the world, particularly European and Asian Markets.
A super power has the capital and engineering expertise to design, manage and build structures most smaller nations cannot. Nations such as Serbia, Bulgaria, the Congo, Kenya and the Caribbean Basin are prime candidates for Chinese Financial largesse with strings attached. Barbados is receiving large loans and assistance in their infrastructure plans not realizing that such economic connects place their security in jeopardy. As you know all Chinese corporations must partner with the Chinese security Apparatus, owing its allegiance first to China, then its customers. Barbados has now tied itself to this Chinese Connection. Chinese Corporations will apply for all forms of controlling interest in Barbadian Public enterprises. Once a door is opened to a Super Powers Team it is very hard to control its enterprising influences.
Antigua, Jamaica, Barbados, Cuba and Trinidad-Tobago are just some of the Caribbean’s largest nations receiving $Billions of Chinese Funds/Investments. Why is China so aggressive? First of all all the super Powers are competing with each other. Some have a greater allowance for their corporations to gain control of projects and their locations, while others take a more political stance such as China. In order to receive massive investments an island like Barbados must go along with China’s Foreign policy and protect china’s image globally. If you partner with China, Russia, the EU or America all your diplomatic, foreign policy and economic policies must meet these Super Powers approval. For instance Jamaica has received billions of dollars in investments. to protect this investment Jamaica will now be silent about China’s domestic and foreign policies, even cheer leading some for China’s approving glance.
In Africa and the Middle East China and Russia even hold political sway within these nations in need. China has over a hundred thousand troops in Africa, Cambodia and Tajikistan protecting its mining interests, while Russia has stationed its special forces in fourteen specific economic zones to protect their interests and investments as well. These troops act as mercenaries for the hosting national governments. America 128 military bases are stationed in over 55 nations and territories. The United Kingdom has over thirteen bases spread across the globe. Super Powers project their power through two distinct ways…
Military Power: Military bases within foreign lands is a way to control the hosting nations government and project a regional power scope
Economic power – Tariffs: Foreign Corporations invest in foreign lands for two reasons, profit and to project their homelands power base. Tariffs have become an essential way for America to project its power and influence. You want to play in the worlds largest marketplace, then you better be pro-American.
American Power is felt in Canada through the force of America’s Financial institutions and investments. Also America can damage Canada’s economy in many ways. Little is know of the American ability to control Canadas’ various power grids, but it can. Most Canadian Unions are allied to larger US Unions capable of closing Canada’s Ports and transportation lines. America has only applied tariffs as a negative financial tool against Canada, but there is so much more they can do. Being an ally to a Super Power places many forms of responsibility upon the smaller ally. Simply put the smaller nation becomes the larger ones bitch in every way possible, be it financial ,political, social or even ethnic in nature. America is stream lining its ability to drive non white immigrants from its lands. We all need to see what is happening and respond appropriately.
Former Colonial Powers remain as powerful in their former colonies as they once were. The Colonial Power (Super Power) has controlling interests financially and politically. France is as present in Africa today as it was two hundred years ago. Spain is as financially and political influential today in Central and Latin America as it once was as a colonial power.
The excuse is the building of infrastructure, but the true purpose of Super Power involvement with smaller nations is to gain control and influence of these “partners”.
