Chile turned to China for an undersea cable. The U.S. said no

Chile considered a $500 million undersea cable project with China Mobile to connect Valparaíso and Hong Kong. The U.S. responded by revoking the visas of three Chilean officials involved in the project, citing concerns over national security and critical infrastructure. The decision impacted Chile's ability to engage internationally and affected the officials' reputations. The project aimed to diversify digital communication routes, reducing reliance on existing U.S.-linked undersea cables.
