Reports from the Eastern Caribbean confirm that the Peoples' Republic of China is actively engaged in a massive propaganda campaign, claiming China is economically ascendant, and should be the logical choice over a United States it asserts is declining. Their propaganda team is trying to tell the Caribbean that the USA economy and dollar will fall, and that they should line up with the Chinese, who will rise above the West . The claims make no sense, in my humble opinion. The Chinese economy depends heavily on export to the West, so that market will never give up selling western products. The large technology companies are still majority American, and once they stop using Chinese materials and make their own, the Chinese economy will drastically decelerate . China, using a wide variety of media, seeks to increase its political and social influence in the Eastern Caribbean, by convincing West Indians that their economic future lies by aligning themselves with its developing economy, but many economists have found fault with their reasoning and predictions, and believe the opposite will be true. The Caribbean states should discount China's rosy predictions, lest they fall into an untenable debtor situation that could result in China taking full advantage of their insolvency, to their detriment, as it has done in the Belt and Road Initiative cases in Asia and Africa.
