Could you share the capability China has to project substantial military power beyond South China Sea

America owes a big thanks to @CleoPaskal for tirelessly working to close this pathway for Chinese nationals to flood the Pacific islands associated with our country.
DHS just closed the special program that let Chinese nationals enter a U.S. territory next to Guam without a visa.
The Federal Register notice (published today) suspends the CNMI EVS-TAP. It takes effect in three days, revokes all existing authorizations, and ends visa-free 14-day entries that required only CBP pre-screening instead of a consular visa.
More than 3,000 Chinese nationals used it in FY2025. DHS cited risks of espionage near military sites on Tinian and Guam, smuggling runs across the 60-mile gap to Guam, birth tourism, and organized crime tied to past casino operations.
Chinese travelers will now need a standard U.S. visa.

FINALLY! @DHSgov just suspended the program that let Chinese enter the US territory of Northern Mariana Islands (next to Guam) VISA FREE.
Thank you to those who worked for this.🙏
Now for the corruption investigations asked for by the late Gov Palacios.

Northern Marianas rep to Congress says she is working the phones to try to reinstate visa-free access for Chinese to the U.S. territory. She says she called @Jim_Jordan who would himself make some calls, implying he supports the visa-free program. facebook.com/reel/1498326675…

An overdue but important step to counter malign Chinese influence within the Pacific (and U.S. territories). Well done @DHSgov.
Hats off to @CleoPaskal! Her leadership and advocacy have been essential for this effort!

Rep. Roy is pleased to hear the Trump Admin closed this dangerous loophole that allowed endless numbers of Chinese nationals to enter the U.S. WITHOUT a visa.
🚨 Reps. Roy and @RepTiffany sounded the alarm on this abuse back in March.

Thank you @BasedMikeLee @SenRickScott @SenatorBanks @SenMcCormickPA @SenTedBuddNC @SenatorLankford @SenKatieBritt @RepScottPerry @RepTiffany @chiproytx @RepEliCrane @RepOgles @SecMullinDHS and other Members who kept focus on this.
Some of the most honest, hard working, principled people I've met are Hill staffers. You never hear about the good ones. Thank you.
At a minimum, it’s time to limit birthright citizenship as to U.S. territories
President Trump should instruct @SecMullinDHS to reverse the existing DHS policy allowing Chinese nationals to enter the Northern Mariana Islands—a U.S. territory—for up to 14 days without a visa

My @Diplomat_APAC piece covers why Dolly Parton, Jesuits, former Peace Corps, flying missionaries and American business owners understand how to get things done better than @PACOM @StateDept & @Interior combined. And what to do now.

I remember @CleoPaskal telling me about this like 10 years ago!
And a huge congratulations to @CleoPaskal, who has been single-handedly documenting Chinese influence ops in the Pacific Islands for years.

77 years ago, marks the Chinese Communist Party founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). What’s followed is a decades-long legacy of systemic tyranny and human rights abuses, as well as a constant threat to the American way of life and our friends and allies all over the world.
On today's National Day of the PRC, I thought it would be a great time to remind the world of the things Xi and his thugs didn’t want you to know or think about when he came to visit last week ⬇️🧵

Cleo Paskal: If China is going to invade Taiwan, it needs to ensure that America cannot retaliate from U.S. soil. One of the main places where that could happen is Guam, so China is trying to put itself in a position to take Guam offline. @CleoPaskal

There is currently an active debate about U.S. policy in the Pacific Islands. Some are saying the U.S. is AWOL in the region. Others have said this is one of the most active times for U.S. engagement. buff.ly/aCnrx2z

Yes, the U.S. government is paying much more attention to the Pacific Islands region than it has in years. But few of its reports are written by people who have lived and worked in the region (or in some cases even visited), or who have spoken directly with Americans on the ground. buff.ly/aCnrx2z
