I'm currently collecting articles on this topic, since it seems Congress (my Rep. is Peter King and my Senator is Schumer) will be looking into the UAE deal and larger topic of port security. I welcome corrective input.
I like the fact that the UAE is competing with the Chinese, especially since the (partly) Chinese government run company (COSCO -- Clinton's friends) is making moves to increase their stake in world shipping and in running ports.
Is COSCO the world's second largest shipping company?
Did COSCO "acquire" a large company that is expert at handling port business? (COSTACO)
Is COSCO involved in a deal to buy a stake in a Greek port?
Did COSCO get a special exemption from US laws "discriminating" against state-owned shipping companies?
I'm sorry that I implied that you were an isolationist, but that article just really got my back up. The article makes it sound like Singapore is a shill for China. The implication is that Singapore is an Asian country and China is an Asian country so Singapore is in league to help China spread communism or harm the US. If anyone believes that, they know nothing about Singapore.
If every port in America was run by Singapore I'd be happy. They were fighting terrorism long before 9/11 and they are tough on it and very careful. Their little island is like a fortress against terrorism.
