The Bahamas are becoming Haiti, only closer
The Bahamas are mostly known as a resort or cruise destination, only 90 miles to the right of Miami. Not well known is that the Bahamas have become one of the key locations for Chinese Communist Party Adventurism in the Americas as China exploits a disinterested U.S. Government and State Department. When I was in the Bahamas in late 2019, I went out of my way to talk to locals and see what was on their mind. There were two common themes: The first was that the Chinese Communists were thugs. The second one was, where are the Americans? In late 2023 I spent a number of days in Panama with Michael Yon and Ann Vandersteel to understand the extent of Chinese mischief in Panama.
