I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how incredibly grateful I am of the support you’ve given to the show. You’ve done something really important to help combat the Chinese Communist Party and its influence around the world. Take a moment to feel proud of what you’ve done!
I do want to apologize for being a bit aloof lately. I haven’t done a great job responding to your comments. It’s been a bit overwhelming lately. We were supposed to have finished construction on a brand new studio, but a sewage pipe burst and well…let’s just say things got delayed. That, on top of the busy production schedule, didn’t leave me with much bandwidth, but I’m forcing myself to take it easy for the holidays, recharge my batteries, and get back to things with a fresh start to the new year!
So moving forward, what are your thoughts and suggestions for things you’d like to see improved on Locals or on the show in general?
Very Best,
Chris
China loves to talk about its growing global power. The Belt and Road Initiative spans continents, Chinese ports dot the globe, and the Chinese Communist Party claims it’s reshaping the world order. But when it comes to actual military presence abroad, China has just one overseas base—located in Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa. And now, that base is at risk.

China has quietly launched its invasion of the US. But it's not flashy. It starts in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or CNMI for short, which is just to the north of Guam. And in particular, Saipan, where a major World War 2 battle was fought.
