If we refuse to let them operate the terminals then we still have to deal with them in all of the ports of origin. And they'll be pissed off. And they'll have no "enlightened self interest" on the line to make them want to make the cargoes safe.

Sure they will have self interest. Just like COSCO, they'll work all the harder to keep their nose clean. This is strictly business, IMO. They'll be disappointed, sure, but not in a way that is wilfully self-destructive. USA is by far the largest desination for the cargo they are paid to handle.

said the spider to the fly.

Enlightened self interest is the only motive I trust.  I want to see the "other side" totally enmeshed in "the game" with a positive outcome for them by playing it our way that is better than playing it their way.  It's the only way I can trust anyone.

I want there to be Chinese and Muslim and Indian and French BILLIONAIRES who realize that they'll lose it all if they screw us over.  So when Osama, Xu, Indira or Philip pipes up about some "great plan" to destroy us those people will know that it is going to screw them over as much as it screws us.

Make a note:

Enlightened self interest
