Wow. It’s well-known that China has been seizing valuable infrastructure when Third World dictators fail to repay their foolish loans, but now it’s happening in the (so-called) First World! In a way, you have to admire the insectlike Chinese for doggedly pursuing their greedy aims . . . while the West carries on like a bunch of whiny, short-attention-span toddlers.
To continue with the metaphor, we are certainly a touchy feeling butterfly being eaten by a lizard.
