You don't need to look as far away as the Solomon Islands to see this activity expanding.  You just need to go about 100 miles from Miami to Freeport or Bahama Island to see exactly the same influence being purchased.  Even the same type of project.  First was a big stadium, then roads and drainage. Finally a large Casino/Hotel complex.  All were funded by the Chinese through loans to the Bahamian government.  There is no way the loans can be repaid from the Bahamas' GDP. Wonder if this is related to the US submarine base on one of the low-populated Bahama islands. The submarine base has been there for 20+ years.The Bahamian Government is now completely owned by the Chinese, through the same pay-to-play scheme that is happening in the Solomons.  The officials up and down the Bahamian government were provided funds for their elections, so they were aligned with the Chinese occupation. China imported many of the workers on these projects, so the wages weren't being paid to the Bahamas people.
