The new canal to be built by China will create a Colony for China.





gives the Chinese construction company 116 years of absolute dominion over the lake and seven currently protected areas.


The canal company is believed by many to be a proxy for the Chinese government, which basically would create a colony in Central America.

They are also all over Africa and any other third world country where they can gain a foothold and start to scoop up natural resources. Empire building is happening on a scale that hasn't been seen since the British dominated the world but the Chinese are a little more subtle about it.

Good for China! The US owns the Panama Canal and charges a hefty toll for passage... the Chinese think they can do it for less (and they can)... Money flows to both Costa Rica and China... a boom for both sides... The US likes to use trade as a weapon... diversity and options are always better... though it will weaken the US... specifically, the liberals... less money for them to waste...

The best thing about China is that they help developing countries without strings attached, unlike Western nations. If the West doesn't want for China to challenge their hegemony, they truly got two options:

A. Flex their muscles at China

B. Begin to offer no strings attached help

If the West doesn't want to do any of those two options, then it will be forced to look at how China chips away at their global power.
