Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) and the Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI) have released a joint report, U.S. Underwriting of Chinese Military Companies Operating in Latin America, which details how Beijing is working to penetrate and control the space sectors of Latin American countries through dozens of ostensibly commercial agreements concluded with its state-controlled Chinese space companies that, in effect, act as fronts for the People’s Liberation Army.
CPA welcomed the U.S. Department of War expanding its Section 1260H list of Chinese military companies and praised recent efforts by lawmakers, including Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), to draw greater attention to the threat posed by China’s military-civil fusion strategy.

The race to commercialize nuclear fusion will define the next era of geopolitical power. By one estimate, a single glass of fusion fuel carries the energy equivalent of one million gallons of oil, enough to power a home for more than 800 years.
The overall goods and services deficit number for January looked pretty good – coming in at $54.4 billion, its lowest monthly point in years. But when services are stripped from the equation, the goods trade looks like it has returned to level footing. January’s goods deficit was $81.7 billion, according to Thursday’s trade data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
