China making $900 bn of investments in Commonwealth nations to end British influence

Washington/Beijing/London: – A shocking report has surfaced claiming that the Chinese ruling communist regime is trying to tighten its grip on Commonwealth countries, with an investment of more than $900 billion in these countries. The US think tank has published a report, which points out that the Caribbean nations and Commonwealth members from the African Union are being targeted. The report has provoked strong reactions in British political circles, and former officials and analysts are posing an angry question, ‘Is the British government sleeping?’

The US thinktank ‘American Enterprise Institute’ has published statistics in this regard. The Chinese regime has targeted 42 of the 54 Commonwealth member states with its predatory economic policies. It mainly includes the Caribbean region as well as countries in the African continent. In the Caribbean sector, an investment of nearly $10 billion has been made in Jamaica, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago. According to the US think tank, the investment ranges from 10% to 60% of the countries’ GDP.

Billions of dollars have been invested in China in Sierra Leone, Uganda, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho and Cameroon. The investment is being used to gain their support in the United Nations and seize strategic ports and territories. Earlier, it was reported that the communist regime used the investment to bring political pressure on the Taiwan issue. Grenada and the Dominican Republic, part of the Commonwealth, were forced to sever ties with Taiwan. China has invested more than $3 billion in the two countries.

A few months ago, China seized control of Kingston Freeport, a strategic port in Jamaica. After that, just last week, it was reported that China had seized the Entebbe Airport, the only international airport in Uganda. This incident and the report of the American think tank provoked strong reactions in the British political circles. Baroness Helena Kennedy, a member of the British Parliament, warned that China’s efforts were heading for the Cold War and could have serious consequences. Kennedy noted that investment from China was weakening the British sphere of influence.

‘China is using economic force for hunting down Commonwealth member countries. Britain must take action to respond. It is already too late,’ said Alan Mendoza, a British think tank Henry Jackson Society’s director.
