Inside the U.S. Strategy to Counter China’s Booming Network of Ports | WSJ U.S. vs. China

U.S. diplomats have been working to counter China’s influence in ports that increase its economic power. Chinese firms have spent billions of dollars to operate and develop ports in areas across the world from North America to Africa. Can the U.S. continue to convince countries that security concerns outweigh the benefits of Chinese state investments?
WSJ looks at Beijing’s global network of ports and how the U.S. has worked to stop its expansion in key areas around the world.

    Depends if it’s meant for trade only. The Chinese government runs “police” operations in foreign countries to intimidate opposition figures, while posing as an immigrant assistance organization.

Would you be fine with a foreign power ownership over your nations trade ports, with the ability to use it against you if needed?

    This video highlights the two vastly different philosophies to nation building. The US builds military bases, 760 of them, and more on the way, while China builds ports to move goods around the world. The US's priority is to dominate the world via military presence, while China attempts to dominate the world's commerce. The choice is stark. For the west, they have chosen the US for the fear of an Asian country dominating them. Mind you, they were once dominating Asia, and they were rather comfortable with that. For "the rest" of the world, ie. the developing and non western allied world, they chose China, because their national interests don't collide with China's. They wanted goods to be traded between themselves and the rest of the world, and sea transportation is much preferable because it is cheaper. So Chinese's ambition doesn't impinge those non-western nations' interest, but rather enhancing it. That of course won't be agreeable with the US because those "the rest" of the world are voting with their feet, and picked China instead of the US. So what can the US do? Well, there are many if past records are anything to go by. (1). Sanctions (2). Talk up the Chinese threats (3). Block and threaten any country which dare to disobey America's directives. (4). Build more military bases. But money doesn't grow on trees. For the US, money does grow out of printers, and of course selling more bonds, meaning borrowing. Ironically, China is one of the US's major creditors. So China lends money to the US to build more military bases to encircle itself. It makes zero sense. Meanwhile, US politicians are arguing if they should borrow even more in order to pay the interest and to pay for the military which boost the US's mojo.

    it's fine when the US doesn't allow China's investments and cranes. but when it asks other countries not to do so, it is disgraceful. and i think if the US thinks China's crane is threat to national security, just don't use it. buy domestic made crane. these days, american people have seen too much media coverage about this thing. we just don't understand why it is difficult to replace these cranes. the government and media are all talking and zero action.

    The US focuses on military, China focuses on development. I would tell the US to step aside.

    China builds ports, US and NATO build military bases. US has over 800 military based to project force and submitt others by force. Chinese are not the best but they are a thousand times more human the western colonialists.

    0:09 meanwhile, the United States owns 700 military bases all over the world, including in poor countries where their presence has significantly reduced the long-term political security of the entire region (especially in Africa). So many countries are vulnerable to the US
