Perhaps they are (or were) relying on your option #3 to keep the dough rolling in?

"Hey man, they can't let China or anyone else that close.. We can do whatever we want and they won't cut us off. No way!"

I've never read anything to the effect that PR was looking for Chinese investment.

Their politicians are so confident that they have both of our political parties stateside cowering in fear of the Puerto Rican 'vote' that they can coerce $10s of billions more of U.S. Taxpayer's dollars out of them for the commercial development of the 35,000 acres that the 2 Naval bases were on.

And all 35,000 acres and existing infrastructure for FREE, of course.

I'm not so sure they're wrong.

The children we have in charge will do anything for votes.

Nice, huh?

LOL!
