*** We’re not interested in your paranoia.*** Let’s put this to rest—once and for all.
While some continue to hurl childish insults, throw around racist tropes, and parrot Cold War talking points, the actual facts are now clear and on record. The Chinese Embassy has responded directly to the absurd allegations made by U.S. diplomats, stating—without ambiguity—that China’s cooperation with The Bahamas comes at the request of the Bahamian government, includes no political conditions, and imposes no spheres of influence.
The new $267 million hospital—requested by our government—is being funded with a long-term, low-interest loan from the Chinese Export-Import Bank. That is real development, backed by actual financing, negotiated in our national interest. And contrary to U.S. slander, this is not a “debt trap,” but a project aligned with the Global Development Initiative and South-South cooperation, which has already yielded model health infrastructure in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.
Let’s be blunt: while China builds hospitals, the U.S. threatens visas. While China finances roads, ports, and education, the West clings to paternalistic lectures and empty rhetoric. If the British wanted to step up, they should’ve done so before the deal was finalized—not after.
The Bahamas is not a playground for geopolitical insecurities. We are a sovereign nation. And we have the right—and the responsibility—to make decisions that serve our people, not Washington’s talking points.
So to those still screaming “ChiCom” from the sidelines while ignoring cruise lines siphoning profits offshore, private islands running tax-free, and foreign companies using our resources without reinvestment—your hypocrisy is the real insult to the Bahamian people.
This is not about China vs. the U.S. It’s about Bahamian dignity, Bahamian development, and Bahamian independence.
We’re not interested in your paranoia. We’re building hospitals. Try doing the same.
It’s fascinating how ExposedU2C7 continues frothing at the mouth about “ChiCom bots” and TikTok conspiracy theories—parroting Cold War paranoia like a relic stuck in a time warp—while completely dodging every single hard truth laid out before him.
You're obsessed with ghost stories of “information warfare,” yet blind to the very real, very present economic warfare being waged right here on Bahamian soil. No comment on cruise lines operating tax-free fiefdoms on our shores. No concern about shark dive operations cashing out in foreign banks while using Bahamian resources. No anger about private islands built on our land, for foreign profit, that give virtually nothing back to the public purse. Why? Because the exploiters in those cases aren’t Chinese or Haitian—so your outrage is conveniently put on mute.
You call others propaganda, but you’re the walking definition of distraction—screaming “China” while ignoring the theft happening under your nose. The Bahamas isn’t being sold out by AI bots—it’s being sold out by silence, by cowardice, and by people like you who are more comfortable slinging racial slurs than asking who’s signing the backroom deals and why the nation keeps losing while a few insiders keep winning.
Until you can address the real economic injustice with the same energy you bring to your keyboard crusade, your commentary is nothing but noise—empty, desperate, and irrelevant. The real war is not on your screen—it’s being fought over land, labour, and sovereignty. And sadly, you're on the wrong side of it.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again for those hard of hearing: The Chinese are our 'friends' I received my first Chinese visa in 1999, worked in China for ten years, and my family—like many other Bahamians—benefited from full academic scholarships extended by the Chinese government. I’ve been a homeowner in China for the past nine years. These are not theories or YouTube fantasies—they are lived experiences, grounded in reality, mutual respect, and cooperation - not racism and discrimination.
Now, instead of engaging with facts, you’re flailing with cowardly playground-grade insults—"CCP troll," "propagandist," "AI bot"—because your argument has collapsed under the weight of its own ignorance. When you can't debate substance, you attack character. That’s the mark of someone out of ideas, out of depth, and out of place.
If stating facts makes me a “bot,” then you’re the glitch—programmed with Cold War talking points, parroting the same tired lines without a shred of original thought. So do us all a favour: unless you’re bringing evidence, experience, or insight to the table—shut up and sit down. This is a conversation for grown folk.
The Bahamas doesn’t need more politicians, parrots, or pawns. What this country needs now—more than ever—are Warriors, not Traitors.
Overwhelming majority? That’s either wilful ignorance or a deliberate lie. Let’s educate you.
Donald Trump lost the popular vote in both 2016 and 2020. In 2016, he was elected through the Electoral College, not by a majority of voters. In fact, Hillary Clinton received nearly 3 million more votes than Trump. That’s not a “landslide”—that’s a constitutional technicality. And in 2020, he lost both the popular and Electoral College vote—decisively.
But here’s the bigger issue: the U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates in the developed world. In 2016, only about 55% of eligible voters participated. In 2020, even with record turnout, roughly one-third of the adult population still didn’t vote. So no, Trump was not elected by “an overwhelming majority.” He was elected by a fraction of Americans in a system designed to skew results in favour of specific states—not the majority.
Now, as for your lazy immigration comparison—Trump's bluster on immigration has cost lives, traumatized children, and fueled racial division. The Bahamas doesn’t need to mimic xenophobic hysteria to protect its borders. What we need is clear policy, dignity in enforcement, and leadership rooted in nation-building, not scapegoating.
So before you lecture anyone on “respecting the will of voters,” maybe understand how voting actually works—and don’t mistake electoral mechanics for mass approval. Facts matter. Try using them.
So stop while you’re ahead—because you’re embarrassing yourself. You’re looking dumb and sounding even worse. This isn’t a football match. It’s policy, history, and truth—and you're clearly out of your depth.
And there it is—the final refuge of the intellectually bankrupt: name-calling. When facts fail you, and logic escapes you, you lash out with lazy slurs like “ChiCom troll” as if that somehow erases the truth I’ve laid bare. You can mock all you want, but mocking doesn’t build hospitals, it doesn’t construct roads, and it doesn’t solve the very real issues Bahamians face every day.
Unlike you, I don’t take orders from anyone—East or West. I read contracts, compare outcomes, follow the money, and ask who actually benefits. If that threatens your fragile worldview, then perhaps you should step away from the keyboard and do some reading instead.
Your shallow insults don’t wound me—they expose you. You came here with slogans; I came with substance. And the louder you laugh, the clearer it becomes that you have nothing of value to say. So unless you’re ready to talk policy, infrastructure, economics, or sovereignty, consider this your final lesson: Slogans don’t feed nations. Strategy does.
If you can—go ahead and show me exactly where in the article a “better deal” was offered. Otherwise, spare us the racist venom and blind allegiance. National decisions should be based on facts and outcomes, not prejudice and misplaced loyalty to powers that have never respected us.
The truth is—you are just a coward, eager to lash out at the weak while staying silent when it’s the powerful doing the damage. Quick to demonize the Haitian trying to feed his family or the Chinese partner offering a deal we negotiated ourselves, but mute when cruise giants rob us blind, foreign-owned dive companies operate tax-free, and international banks funnel profits out while we foot the bill.
It’s easy to shout when the target is poor or foreign. But when it’s the rich, the connected, or the familiar 'white face' doing the exploiting, suddenly everyone forgets how to speak. That’s not patriotism. That’s selective outrage—and it's destroying this country more than any outsider ever could.
While some are quick to hurl racist slurs at China and drown in Cold War rhetoric, the real daylight robbery happening in our country is being conveniently ignored—especially when it comes in the form of cruise lines and foreign-owned operations on Bahamian soil. Where’s the outrage over the so-called “private islands” that siphon off millions in tourist revenue while contributing next to nothing to the Bahamian economy? These are foreign-run enclaves operating tax-free, exploiting our natural beauty, and leaving us with crumbs. Their transactions are processed in second countries, completely bypassing our VAT system, even though the operations are based right here in The Bahamas.
Where is the anger about shark diving businesses and other tourism ventures operating in Bahamian waters, using Bahamian resources, while their financial returns are cashed out abroad? Why is no one speaking on this? Is it because the offenders aren’t Chinese or Haitian? Is that what makes exploitation tolerable?
We’re so distracted calling China racist, we fail to see who’s picking our pockets in broad daylight. The problem isn’t just foreign powers—it’s our silence, our double standards, and the refusal to confront the systems and deals that actually bleed this country dry. We should demand accountability, not just from foreign partners, but from those who sit in boardrooms and Cabinet offices, and sign away our future for campaign kickbacks and private gain.
Until we’re brave enough to talk about all the bad deals—not just the ones involving China or Haiti—we’re not ready to fix anything.
