Yes, I'm present Mr Gatun.
Mr Gatun, you're still running around telling folks that the Communist Chinese are no threat at the Panama Canal? Is this correct Mr Gatun?

FYI...polite discussion to commence once Gatun and joglanban arrive.

Of course the Communist Chinese are a threat to the Panama Canal. The Chinese look at Americans as their #1 enemy!

I don't live in Panama or have a stake in their economy. As an innocent by-stander, I feel that we are being taken to the cleaners by Red China. I was not impressed by the Red Chinese participation in the Korean War in the fifties.

I was further not impressed by their gaining a permanent seat on the Security Council. I was definitely not impressed when the US sponsored them for membership in the WTO. In conjunction with my complaints, I feel that the WTO and UN show their incompetence and lack of morality for allowing the Chinese to darken the door of their organizations.

We now having a trading partner(China) that refuses to adhere to the rules of free trade, that is using every trick to keep our farm products from entering, infringing on patents and copyrights, and running up a trade surplus to build up their military.

We retaliate by ignoring their sales to terrorist countries, if not to terrorists themselves. Why? Because the economic illusion by our capitalist(debt only, another anomaly)strategic morons that China will become a huge market that will compete domestically with their free slave labor. Stupid is as stupid does descibes our relations with the Chinese communists.

The Chinese are a threat in Panama just like they are in Bahamas, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Charleston, Houston, Long Beach, Houston, San Francisco, Seattle, Secaucus, Toronto, Vancouver and anywhere Chinese companies have large warehousing facilities.

I would rely more on Gatun because he is over there watching out as HUMINT - when he tells us that PLA soldiers are indeed guarding the Canal, then I ll believe it...
