China has been offering loans to Caribbean countries in order to build new infrastructure. This is something that the United States isn't pleased with. As China appears to be challenging our status as the sole hegemon, having a Chinese ally so close could be dangerous. The countries that have recieved the aid from China has welcomed it with open arms, which the United States views a deliberate attempt to establish allies so close to it's land, and possibly a military presence. It makes sense that the United States would view it this way, given the Cuban Missile Crisis. I believe I speak for everyone when I say another scenario similar to that would be horrifying.
