There are rising concerns that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is infiltrating the United States’ sensitive military site in Guam where over 20,000 troops are stationed.
A growing number of Chinese nationals have been sneaking in from the Northern Mariana Islands into Guam, which makes the U.S. territory susceptible to CCP influence.
Guam is the location of the Navy’s only submarine base in the western Pacific. It also hosts a ‘strategically important’ air base with bombers and fighter jets.
The island’s homeland security agency has reported 118 ‘unlawful or attempted unlawful entries by Chinese citizens’ since 2022.
The number peaked at 85 in 2022 followed by 27 in 2023 and six so far in 2024, according to Stars and Stripes.
