Chinese Dragon: Romping in South America

Fire of Liberty

It seems the China is making strides in South America, which seems to have set off a warning within the State Department and The Pentagon. You have to worry when the Chinese start hobnobbing it up with the likes of Hugo Chavez. This smells too much like the Cold War when the Soviets had a go in the region. I hope someone has dusted of the Monroe Doctrine and read it. China is getting to close with South America for me to be comfortable. Maybe it's just about money and trade but the Chinese are still communists and are busting at the seems to spread their wings militarily. You don't increase you military budget by 12.5% for looks.
