The U.S. Is Flexing Military Power — But China’s Buying the Future

The U.S. Is Flexing Military Power — But China’s Buying the Future

Author: Latin Wealth November 20, 2025 Duration: 30:53

Is the U.S. headed for a larger conflict in Latin America—or will China quietly win the region through investment? In this Wealth Wednesday episode, we break down the U.S. military escalation near Venezuela (strikes on “narco” boats, the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group, and a $50M bounty on Maduro) versus China’s venture capital push across Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile.

Plus, a big announcement: we’re launching a Latin Wealth community by December 1—a live, hands-on space for Latinos to learn business, investing, marketing, podcasting, life insurance, and succession planning with real Q&A, expert sessions, and zero gatekeeping. Link coming soon.


What you’ll learn

  • Why the U.S. is framing operations as counter-drug—while fielding a land-strike carrier
  • What a $50M bounty on Maduro signals for risk in the region
  • Who China’s funding (Didi, Tencent, Ant-backed deals, and more) and where capital is flowing
  • When startup funding fell in LatAm—and how China is filling the gap
  • Should founders in LatAm align with U.S. markets or China’s capital—and what that means for jobs
  • How our new community will help you start, grow, and scale your business
