They are an ally!

so we should just hand over the ports?

The real issue is: with how much insecurity can America live while promoting its interests in an increasingly interactive, interdependent world?"--Zbigniew Brzezinski

We are not handing them the ports! It is a business deal to manage one aspect of port operations via a external company. We can still kick them out if they eff around, since we own the land. They've engaged in a legal and vetted business transaction, and they've been an ally. They are paying a lot of good money for this access, so I don't think "giving" is at all the right term.

Of course not. But NO ONE IS PROPOSING THAT.
