There is growing comprehension of the extent of China's attempts to undermine America and establish itself as the world's dominant economic and political power. Globally, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), begun in 2013, has spread across all continents, enrolling at least 138 countries to date.
The BRI reach is vast, and, although it lacks transparency, a common estimate is that it incorporates 38 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, 25 East Asia and Pacific countries, 17 nations in the Middle East and North Africa, 18 Latin American and Caribbean sovereignties, 6 Southeast Asia countries, and even 38 European and Central Asian countries including 18 E.U. members. China's goal is to invest (buy) its way into these nations by first injecting its economic influence, then exercising its political force, and finally infusing its culture into BRI nations via "soft colonialism."
Not only is China exerting economic and political superiority in these nations, but Xi Jinping's BRI, under the guise of peace and security, is also establishing strategic military infrastructures in the form of naval ports, army land bases, and air force installations in BRI member countries.
Although the United States is not a BRI member, what's becoming more exposed through daily revelations is China's sub-rosa investment, insurgent involvement, and planned takeover of America's institutions and business sectors, including academia, entertainment, finance, agriculture, and others.
