U.S. Worried About China’s Involvement in Americas?

SHANGHAI (Interfax-China) — China’s interest in exploring oil and gas on Cuba’s northwestern coast close to the Florida Keys has further raised the concerns of the United States about the threat that China poses to U.S. energy security, according to Interfax.

China has been trying to boost its presence in the U.S. “backyard”, sealing deals with the left-wing governments of Venezuela and Bolivia, and buying up oil concessions in Ecuador. It has also sought closer cooperation with Brazil in the field of oil exploration.
