What China’s future overseas military expansion could look like, according to a new report

This might be interesting but what about this canal being proposed from China through thailand? Won't this be a power projection for the people's Liberation Army Navy that wants to dominate the whole area?

Our stupid president and his corrupt minions have 360 billion dollars to bribe other countries to switch to Green energy but we don't have money to keep our Fleet growing or our Fleet maintained while China keeps growing theirs and I don't think they're going to go green by 2060. For every Power Plant we decommissioned they build two. So every time I read about the increased Chinese presents in the South China sea, I think of president Mr magoobiden thinking he's all cool and destroying what was once a proud military.

LTC Eric Udouj thanks for sharing.
..."This lack of trust has seen the U.S. and its allies try to pre-empt any potential Chinese military expansion, such as pushing back against Beijing’s growing influence in the Pacific, which may have stymied any plans for bases there, said Mr. Wooley, the AidData researcher.

“The Pacific, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere were largely ignored” in the past two decades while Western attention was focused on the Middle East, he said. “Now the West, especially the U.S., is diving into their tool boxes – defence, diplomacy, aid, trade, influence – to try and counter or leapfrog gains China has made, especially in the Pacific and Indian oceans.”
