China in the Caribbean with Implications for Western Hemisphere Geopolitics

When one looks at the sheer size of China and the size of its population in relation to the Caribbean as a region, and the small size and small population of individual Caribbean islands, any relationship between China and the Caribbean, hardly seems worth considering at all. But a closer examination of the China–Caribbean relationship would reveal that it is an important relationship, not just for the Caribbean and China; not just for resources and markets or for trade, investment and development; but for the geopolitics of the western hemisphere and the world at large.

Brian Kot

Chun Hey (Brian) Kot obtained an MPhil in International Relations (Distinction) at St Antony’s College, University of Oxford. His thesis, awarded the Sara Norton Prize (2024–25), develops the concept of dual-use distinguishability—how easily a state can differentiate between a technology’s military and civilian applications—to explain the dynamics of US-China AI competition, arguing that the degree of state–business relations and civil–military integration shapes foreign threat perception.
