Guam – Front against China

In a strategy paper shortly before the Party Congress in China, the USA promotes a "responsible" rivalry between the countries. At the same time, the Americans are positioning themselves more and more in the Asia-Pacific region, where China is also striving for dominance. One of the strategic hotspots is a tiny island in the Pacific. Barbara Barkhausen has been keeping an eye on the strategic situation here in the region for a long time and has taken a closer look at Guam for us.
