The only pang of wonder and guilt that I've had through this is the vague recollection of COSCO and Long Beach back in the late 90's and up to 2003 or so. Letting COSCO take a port was anathema - I took it as an article of faith and never researched "how ports work."
They have management of a fair amount of our assets in this country and it's never been a problem until a few democrats tried to play games, again, and stupid Republicans fell for it.
