Report: China May Try To Send Aid to Devastated Bahamas

The Trump administration is considering the national security implications if China steps in and tries to help the Bahamas rebuild after the destruction left by Hurricane Dorian, Axios is reporting.

China already has invested in ports, railways, power grids, gas pipelines and other infrastructure projects throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. Now, it has the opportunity to do the same in the Bahamas – just off U.S. waters, Axios noted in a report posted on Thursday.

Although President Donald Trump has tried to limit the reach of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in the U.S., the firm has invested in telecom infrastructure and hardware in Caribbean nations, including the Bahamas, And Axios noted huge portions of wiring in the Bahamas have been destroyed by the storm.
