The Story

The U.S. military has expressed its concern over Chinese-run gaming venues in Saipan and Tinian, where it plans to conduct extensive training and exercises.

 

The U.S. military report singled out three Chinese-led casinos.

The U.S. military, in its report titled ‘China’s Engagement in the Pacific Islands: Implications for the United States,’ observed that with the islands’ increasing reliance on Chinese spending, the “Pacific Island countries may feel more beholden to Beijing and side with it at international fora.”

The military has been eyeing the islands as its new stomping ground for military exercises after the recent relocation of U.S. Marines from Okinawa, Japan.
