KINGSTON, Jamaica - RECENTLY, United States President Barack Obama visited Mexico and Costa Rica. His last visit to the Caribbean was in April 2009 when he attended the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad. Hilary Clinton, while she was secretary of state, met the leaders of the Caribbean in Montego Bay. This past week, Chinese President XI Jingping met with eight CARICOM leaders in Port of Spain. The other CARICOM governments that do not practise the "One China" policy were not included. They continue the financially unrewarding fallacy that Taiwan is the rightful Government of China. They can expect none of China's very generous aid which has built or funded several prominent infrastructure projects throughout the region.
