In the first two decades of the 21st century, China's trade with the region jumped 26-fold to $315 billion while it simultaneously enhanced influence in the technology and security domains.
Bipartisan action is increasingly hard to come by, especially in a presidential election year. But one issue still manages to get attention on both sides of the aisle: China's growing influence right here in the Americas.That is for good reason. In the first two decades of the 21st century, China's trade with the region jumped 26-fold to $315 billion while it simultaneously enhanced influence in the technology and security domains.
Doing so will require a multi-country approach to eliminating security threats, including reducing Chinese and Russian military and intelligence activities in the region, as well as preventing their investment in sensitive national security areas. U.S. Southern Command, underfunded relative to other commands despite its focus on areas in proximity to the United States, should receive increased funding to advance its mission.
