U.S. monitors 23 Chinese ports and 12 space facilities in Latin America

Foreign media: General Francis Dunovan, commander of the U.S. Southern Command, disclosed at a congressional hearing that the U.S. military is monitoring 23 Chinese port projects and 12 aerospace facilities in Latin America, and considers all projects as "potential dual-use assets," regardless of their original construction intent. These 12 aerospace facilities are mainly concentrated in the southern cone region of South America.

Dunovan also warned that China's growing role in the exploitation and processing of key minerals in Latin America poses a long-term risk to the U.S. defense industrial base.
