The article notes that control of the Long Beach port in relation to China is likely classified information.

I believe that Barry Sotero already sold (or perhaps initially leased) the port to China, along with one on Florida's coast and that the information is classified because the public might wonder what China's been doing with those ports during Obama's reign.

"Anonymous sources" on the internet wrote about this port a few years ago - asserting that they were treated as sovereign and did not allow US inspection of it.

I've just heard from Steven Ben Nun that Israel has this kind of arrangement with China now. China has bought a port (or container shipping dock?) and is preparing to buy another near Haifa. Also, Steven says that going forward, China will dictate the terms under which the US may access those ports.

Prayers up for Israel - China is a harsh "ally" that only intends to rob, steal and destroy etc.

For Christians, FReeper Ymani Cricket recently wondered if "Red Dragon" = China. It could explain some things.

Feinstein was trying to do this quite a number of years ago. Mike Savage railed against it numerous time on his “Savage Nation” show.

It’s probably not a good idea for a country you’re fighting in a trade war to control one of your biggest ports.

Probably?

China has controlled, through Hutchinson-Whampoa, both entrances to the Panama Canal since shortly after Operation Just Cause unseated Noriega.

It’s called understatement for effect.

Long Beach is the busiest port in the US.

~~~~~~ Wow. I don’t know how I missed that! That’s YUGE! Was it well publicized at the time? Wow.

Well, we were assigned there and were at Albrook AFS when the mortars and tracers started firing (0050 on 20 Dec 89), so I may have been more tuned in than some.
