As we have noted previously, port operations at both ends of the Panama Canal are already being operated by the Communist Chinese company Hutchinson Ports.

Thank You Jimmy "Craphead" Carter!

I don't have any problem with the Chinese modifying the canal. Let the Chinese pay to widen the canal. It'll benefit all of us, and it increases their dependence on the west.

Of course the "slave labor" is another issue, but you can make that argument about everything the Chinese do. It really comes down to how you define "slave labor." If you want to construe it strictly, then everyone in China is a slave.

I just knew from the title that this pile of steaming crap was written by Jerome Corsi.

The kook sees a conspiracy behind everything.

In general I belive protectionists believe anyone anywhere that sells a product for less than someone else is committing the crime of theft.

There's no way a wider Panama Canal would be a bad thing. Corsi doesn't like trade with China, but he doesn't really like much of anything.

I'm waiting for the follow-up rant against the Canal from his evil twin sister, Phyllis Schlafly.

Since they are running the Canal, they may not actually "pay" to do the widening. Perhaps they will simply charge increased fees to transit to pay its way. And use their slave labor to do it...putting a couple more hundred thousand of their forces on the isthmus...

This China-Mexico-USA-WalMart sh!t only gets worse and worse and stupider. These are very big plans along with NAFTA superhighways. My bet is the USD crashes before this infrastructure is built out and we don't have the money to buy all this China crap.

I heard WalMart will pay to widen the canal and it's going to be renamed Sam's Canal Club

You provide an excellent example of a hysterical rant so typical of these types of threads.

Hutchinson Ports is the port operator. They don't operate the canal. Panama operates the Canal. And the Chinese have not brought over several hundred thousand slave laborers to run their operations. The employees are Panamanians. Nor have they brought over any military.

None of those facts are important when you've got a good rant going, though.

LOL! Paul knows as much about the Canal as he does about the Federal Reserve.

It's very common for those who have the strongest opinions to be among the least informed.

Yours is the hysterical rant. Their control is indirect, but real, Is China In Control of the Panama Canal? and your further rant, And the Chinese have not brought over several hundred thousand slave laborers to run their operations

I didn't say they had. Yet.

The employees are Panamanians. Nor have they brought over any military.

Oh, yeah, written in stone I'm sure.

Why would the Chinese bring troops into Panama when they're already in Mexico? This thread is from 2003. Corsi should get good mileage out of this . . . .

Just wait. One day the Chinese will bring in the military. One day the Chinese will bring in several hundred thousand slave laborers and then Paul will be able to say he was right all along.

You'll be sorry. You'll ALL be sorry. LOL!

Yes you did.
putting a couple more hundred thousand of their forces on the isthmus...

What does the word "more" mean to you?

The fact is that you're wrong. Soaking up John Birch propaganda is a good way to ensure that you'll continue to be wrong.

More means more than they already had.

What happened to the several hundred thousand Chinese troops in the Bahamas? That was a favorite theme of the nutbag crowd for several months.
