(Sorry, selected POST prematurely)...Was to my view.
The excellence of that observation is in recognizing the concept involved. Those promoting this Port Deal with UAE have responded to the notion of possibly nationalizing our ports and shipping industy (or some combination of the two) on the basis that they oppose "nationalizing" (...) and increasing government, etc.
And, yet, pointed out in that observation is that the combination of those two IS being natioanlized by anticipating the UAE Port Deal, just by another nation.
I recognize that ports are under the management authority of local governments, however.
"Nationalization" implies that the operation of the port has been turned over to our government, with the lack of efficiency and political cronyism attendent with such a move. In this case, DP is simply another contractor who is bound by the terms of the contract.
