Summary
There is a largely unknown U.S. territory that Chinese citizens can enter legally without a visa.
China expert Cleo Paskal argues it’s an “open backdoor into the United States” that the Chinese communist regime can exploit. The area has seen problems with drug trafficking, birth tourism, controversial Chinese casinos, and allegations of corruption.
Ms. Paskal is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and an expert on the Indo-Pacific region.
In this episode, we dive into the Chinese communist regime’s tactics in the Pacific and its strategies to subvert America.
