I think it is an exaggeration and there is lot much of a win in forcing weak banana republic back to poverty. There is a reason why China was building them up.

BEFORE TRUMP & RUBIO CAME ALONG-———

HOW MANY HERE ON FR EVEN KNEW THAT CHINA HAD SUCH CONTROL OVER THE PANAMA CANAL-—

AND THAT THE USA was being charged the MOST for FEES???

OR that CHINA had built PORT facilities at each end-—and could effectively SHUT down the canal???
