Geopolitical Conflict
Dominica at a Crossroads: Environmental Sovereignty and the Expanding Influence of China in the Cari
Op-ed warns that Chinese mining and infrastructure projects in Dominica threaten environmental sovereignty and intensify geopolitical competition in the Caribbean.
An EmoNews op‑ed highlights that Dominica faces escalating geopolitical pressure due to Chinese state‑linked infrastructure and mining projects, including continued mining by the Chinese state‑owned China Railway No. 5 toward mineral sands despite a stop order issued in December 2025. The author argues that such projects undermine environmental stewardship and local governance, and that Dominica’s geographic location between French islands makes it a focal point in wider US–China strategic competition. The piece frames this as a risk to democratic accountability, rule of law, and Caribbean sovereignty.
