So not China will protect their friends and allies, the Jamaican people, just their assets? Yikes. – @dai_ni_el

Jamaica should have no permanent friends or enemies, just permanent interest. Jamaica cannot be a pawn in a proxy war between the US and China. Jamaican leaders must act in the interest of its citizens not in the interest of America or China. – @devinforatlanta
