China’s Access and Influence in the Western Hemisphere
The Mission Question
An operations command is seeking to understand how China is building economic leverage, political influence, and military access in the Western Hemisphere.
What You Need to Know
Where are Chinese entities expanding critical infrastructure, logistics, digital networks, and dual-use facilities in the Americas, and which PRC-owned companies are involved? Which countries and sectors have the deepest Chinese ties, and could this economic and strategic presence affect commercial and military transit through maritime chokepoints?
How Janes Delivers
Janes tracks Chinese global investments, infrastructure projects, logistics networks, and commercial activity across the Western Hemisphere, revealing networks of entities, ownership and control, strategic relationships, and related activity that may expand Beijing’s economic influence or operational access.
Outcome
The operations command can map out a common operating picture of China’s strategic presence across the Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean, allowing the joint force to respond effectively to the challenge of denying adversary access.
