** $1 billion
------------------------------------------------------------
The Caribbean is an emerging hotspot for regional power competition between the United States and China. In July 2020 China offered a $1 billion loan to Latin America and the Caribbean to buy its Sinovac vaccine and has quickly become a primary source of inoculations amid the relative U.S. absence.

** 59
------------------------------------------------------------
Mining operations in southern Venezuela have not ceased despite the fact that the opposition-controlled National Assembly passed the Organic Mega Reserve Law in 2018, which legally repealed Maduro’s Orinoco Mining Arc decree. According to SOSOrinoco, there are at least 59 illegal mining clusters inside Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
