What are we going to do when China sends spies to our military base in the Chagos islands because Pres. Biden and VP Harris were too weak to object to a dangerous deal?

Why would the Biden-Harris administration agree to give an important U.S. military base to a country that is becoming increasingly close to the Chinese Communist Party? The Chagos Archipelago consists of more than 60 islands in the Indian Ocean, including the island of Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is home to a joint British and American military base that is vital to our national security operations in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

The importance of the base at Diego Garcia cannot be overstated. Diego Garcia is one of the only bases in the world where our military can reload submarines. The base also houses several Navy ships and long-range bomber aircraft that we use to carry out missions around the world. These key missions have made it a top target of Chinese Communist Party spies. Today, we know our assets on Diego Garcia are secure because the Chagos Islands are a British territory. The United Kingdom controls the island of Diego Garcia and the surrounding water to protect our shared missions.

This decision wasn’t about righting the wrongs that the United Kingdom supposedly committed against the people of Chagos, though. Chagossians consider themselves an indigenous people. The Chagos Islands and Mauritius — which are more than 1,200 miles apart — speak different versions of Creole and have no shared pre-colonial historic ties. They are, for all practical purposes, strangers.

The true purpose of the United Nation’s campaign was to shame the United Kingdom for having any presence in Africa at all. Sadly, it worked.

Under the new deal, Mauritius claims it will give the United Kingdom a 99-year lease so British and American forces can keep our base on Diego Garcia. The longevity of that lease, however, is the least of our concerns. Mauritius is now also responsible for protecting Diego Garcia from Chinese espionage efforts.

The deal between the United Kingdom and Mauritius would not have happened if the U.S. had objected. Diego Garcia is far too important for this negotiation to take place without the Biden-Harris administration’s seal of approval.

Biden and Harris either truly believe that the government of Mauritius has the ability and the courage to stand up to China to ensure the security of Diego Garcia, or they withheld their objections to avoid being criticized by woke U.N. activists if they stood up for the American people’s best interests. Once the United Kingdom cedes sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, there’s no going back.
