Accompanied no doubt by a veritable army of Chinese
workers and administrators...

Dang. I thought the Chinese already had some sort of hold on the Panama Canal!

No doubt the Chinese will not give theirs up as easily as we did.

The Chinese will kill 3 million of their own people before they walk away, maybe more with any luck.

I wonder how much gold prospecting they will do on the way?

Wow. Good thing that John F. Kerry declared the Monroe Doctrine “over”. We might have had to step in or something. </sarcasm>

This pretty much will kill LA/Long Beach ports.

It will be nice not having all those trucks on the road.

it’s also a great excuse to ship 1,000,000 chinese regulars in the region

"Our canal lock is 15-meter-thick, hard steel.

it also sounds like they're building a hardened asset that would be less likely to be destroyed in a conflict with the US (nuking panama to insure no ships sail thru is always a plan... this might be a bit tougher)

Maybe the Chinese will pay enough so all the recent Central American illegals return home... well, except for the gang members who the Chinese don't want.

It is about time someone finally did this. Too bad we can’t/won’t do projects like this any more.

We could, probably, but the greenies and lawyers would bring it to a halt before the first shovel of dirt was turned.

Thank God we're no longer the sort of pushy bastards who charge headlong into the future like these Chinese ruffians.

It's sickening how leftist scum have driven this country into the ditch
 and how the "silent majority" let them

Being statist central planners, communist chinese are always good at coming up with ideas and government money for things that made sense 50 years ago.

If they want to pay for a ditch to be dug through Nicaragua, let ‘em.

I’m not sure if it’s an economic project, but it’s certainly an excellent idea. If this project is completed, Panama Canal fees will nosedive. I’d like to see a timeline on this.

What are the military implications? China thinks it can rule the Pacific,and wants access to the Atlantic?

Can’t blame China for filling the vacuum, they are going to OWN the 21st century, thanks to our Baby Boom generation.
