00:00:00.000 just when you think you've gotten a handle on everything china's getting up to you learn about
00:00:10.600 something new like the latest news from u.s intelligence that china is attempting to get
00:00:16.560 their first military outpost in the atlantic yep you heard that right with their partnership with
00:00:23.240 equatorial guinea which is on the west coast of africa they're planning u.s intelligence sources
00:00:29.600 say to put together some sort of a military outpost in the atlantic waters which would be
00:00:34.980 their closest military outpost to europe to north america to the u.s to canada wowsers what's the
00:00:42.120 play there what's the point what's going on yeah that is the question what's going on with china
00:00:47.560 right now and people try very hard to pay attention to all the different moving parts with the china
00:00:52.640 file and then you find something like this is occurring a stark reminder that there are just
00:00:57.700 so many things at play right now when it comes to the west's relationship with china whether it's
00:01:03.480 the uyghur genocide issues whether it's what's going on with the olympics whether it's canada
00:01:08.540 being called upon by our allies to ban huawei from our 5g infrastructure grid now this would be a major
00:01:14.860 problem of course if china got that outpost now there has been a lot of talk about how barbados
00:01:20.360 has left the commonwealth they are no longer presided over by the queen they are now a republic
00:01:25.420 and a number of people in canada getting excited about the idea oh maybe we can do that here
00:01:30.040 maybe after queen elizabeth ii passes on we don't want to have prince charles on our money so
00:01:35.240 let's consider being a republic then look if you want to have that conversation by all means do it
00:01:40.000 but let's not kid ourselves about some of the other things that are at play when it comes to the
00:01:44.480 decision barbados made because it was recently discussed and reported that china recently gave
00:01:50.320 barbados close to a billion dollars so there you go another attempt of them trying to bring a
00:01:56.080 smaller nation further into their orbit now i don't know if this was the exclusive reason why
00:02:00.660 they made this decision about leaving the commonwealth but you see there's a lot of stuff going on
00:02:05.400 equatorial guinea barbados other countries where china is bringing them into their sphere of influence
00:02:11.600 and then well in the case of the military outpost proposed for the atlantic area i guess trying to use
00:02:18.440 this new relationship they have with these nations for their own benefit in a way that well it's not
00:02:24.100 to our benefit it is to our detriment just another issue that we have to keep an eye on what's going
00:02:30.100 on there in the atlantic waters
