Can you imagine China taking a small slice of California coastline, saying this is OURS, we will build a prison camp there, detain Tibet 'criminals' there, and there's nothing the US can do about it.

Cuba became the ownership of the United States after the Spanish American War. When we granted Cuba its independence, we kept a small part of it for a military base.
Currently the United States has military bases in more than half of the countries in the world. I think at last count it was about 130 countries.
