Actually I was mostly making a joke - though I think it was stupid as hell to hand over the canal. ANYWHERE there are Chinese citizens in command you can consider the place a Chinese military base. For example, suppose we were to go to war with China or Korea or Taiwan, and we had to pass ships through the Canal. If a Chinese citizen at any level failed to prevent our ships from passing through, do you have ANY IDEA what would happen to him if he EVER returned to the mainland? If he wasn't stoned to death by the mob he'd receive a bullet in the brainstem from the state, period.

"ANYWHERE there are Chinese citizens in command you can consider the place a Chinese military base."

Big bump - to expose the Communist Chinese elite and their foreboding plans for the Panama Canal.
