The article seems to be a bit schizophrenic about the details. For instance, the author says that the money would go to poor, landlock nations. But then he says nations like China, Burma, Sudan, and Cuba would receive funds - and those nations are anything but landlocked. And China has the second-largest economy in the world.
“the author says that the money would go to poor, landlock nations. But then he says nations like China, Burma, Sudan, and Cuba would receive funds - and those nations are anything but landlocked”
I think the author means that the claim is that the money would go to the poor nations, etc., when in fact it would go to China, etc.
