My old friend, Paul — a retired Navy SEAL — sent me the link to an article by Antonio Graceffo, US-China Tensions: A Modern ‘Great Game.’ Here is Graceffo’s thesis:

This new Great Game between the United States and China, much like the original version, is about controlling strategic territories and influence. However, the scope today is far greater, as US-China tensions spill into the fields of economic, technological, and military power, with both nations vying for influence across key regions like the Indo-Pacific and Africa. China is forming economic alliances through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and BRICS. Meanwhile, the United States has established countless bilateral trade and defense agreements with countries across the Indo-Pacific and Europe, while also leading groupings such as NATO, NORAD, the Quad, the Five Eyes, and AUKUS.

Graceffo, to his credit, admits that, “the United States has established 750 military bases or facilities in 80 countries around the world.” While conceding that, “China only has one overseas base, in Djibouti, and a permanent naval facility in Cambodia.“

But he follows this up with this odd claim, “However, the PLA also operates spy stations in Cuba and Myanmar, as well as a space station in Argentina.”

So what? The United States operates spy stations in almost every country in the world, including China. If you are in China’s position, this is a one-sided game. The United States enjoys a lopsided advantage in electronic spying, at least for now..........more........
