this is what the braindead reporter said, he opened and closed his reporting with propaganda. Take it apart. America isnt the US, it's all of the Americas, so it's a rhetorical trick of words to make you think he meant the US (and he did but he can deny it). He ended with US military bases but that suggests nothing and plays upon common ignorance. China's military bases DO NOT defend other countries from other countries but most if not all US bases do. China's military operations ONLY serve to defend China's goal to dominate. Perhaps you think I'm making this up, Look for yourself, the CCP has openly declared their intentions many times. You must stop consuming information passively! The machines of propaganda built by the CCP, Russia and Iran are out for blood and their governments are nothing short of brutal.

Very hypocritical of the US to be "worried" about this port. The US was given preferential treatment and assigned an even better location, Corio, for them to also develop a megaport. They've been slow-walking the project for the last 20 years. In March of 2024, they've begun showing interest in the project again.

[@ChinaSongsCollection]

They showed interest only because they want to sabotage other people's projects. Believe me, if China didn't come, the US will continue to do nothing with the port for the next 20 years.

[@gogamarra]

The worry comes from illegal Chinese military actions in the South China Sea against key USA allies. Is that an extension of this policy? In that sense, it is poor reporting by NBC because they failed to make that correlation to the "US worry".

Not only that but China's reach goes beyond Chancay, from a bridge construction scandal involving Chinese construction companies back in Pedro Castillo's tenure, Sinofarm vaccine scandal in 2020(Vacunagate case which involved the political and economical elites and the Chinese embassy), Chinese energy companies monopolizing the electricity grid here last year iirc, The opening of a subsidiary of the Bank of China in 2020, ownership of open pit mines here and there and China surpasing the US to become the 1st trading partner.
