While America slept, China gained a stranglehold on the Panama Canal

Really? I think you are exaggerating because how were interstate highways built? And some key American highway networks are more than 60 years old.

He meant developing other countries other than their own

America hawajui kujenga roads au ports. Wanajua kubomb watu na kuua watu. Satanic evil minded devils.

Oh really? Uchungu ya nini? Sema rail, lakini not roads. The road system is very good and in very good shape- most of the highways are resurfaced every 1.5 to 3 years whether they’re damaged or not. The biggest focus currently is on bridges: many of them are over 100 years old.

Na hii China yenu kwani iko na pesa mingi aje za kutupa? Is it that they have ended complete poverty in mainland China and now all they are remaining with is to throw money around to other countries? :D:D

China has bought over 50 international ports. Not to mention the insane infrastructure they are building around the globe.

Haya tuseme 40% of these countries default on repaying their Chinese loans and then Trump blocks Chinese exports to the U.S. … kutaenda aje?!

You know China makes a sweet 18% of their income from exporting to the U.S.

China makes a sweet $550 billion exporting to the U.S annually. Ikakatika je? And at the same time China has money tied up in projects around the world.

Hata kama you are the smartest business man on earth you don’t invest in a million things at once.

Ma own goal tu.si ulisema juzi pia USA kuna homeless and poor people.

Na by the way mbona msaidiwe na foreign investor?!

Kwani ni MUST msaidiwe? Hamna akili, mikono na miguu kama wengine ?

Kwani Chinese na Americans wako na three brains na 7 hands?

Listening to you and @Tony254 one would think it is a rightful HUMAN NEED msaidiwe by force… these coubtries can as well refuse!! Mnasaidiwa kwa nini?!

You are just lazy Africans.

Si mliitisha independence ndio mkuwe INDEPENDENT!!!

INDEPENDENT and SELF RELIANT!!

Sasa tena story imegeuka ikakuwa we were not helped enough by X.

Since when did another country develop another?! When? How lucky must you be.

Najua mnapenda kusema South Korea and Japan which is utter complete bullshit. Ati they just sat by the beach and America made everyone a millionaire…

I’ll have you know America was colonizing South Korea, West Germany and Japan. In South Korea they rebelled against the American stooge and preffered the benevolent dictator who had communist leanings.
And Park Chung hee was a real slave driver. Hawakulala tena pale South Korea.

Hakuna nchi hujengwa na nchi ingine, hio ni maongo ya LAZY BLACK AFRICANS!!

No one on this,earth works as hard as the South Koreans, the Singaporeans, the Germans or the Japanese. In South Korea people even commit suicide from over work. In Japan mjamaa hunyamaza kwa Shinkansen asubuhi na anaenda na heart attack at only 27 years of age. They work 17 hour days in Japan. 17 hours out of 24.

Go be a lawyer in the U.S. utashangaa. Divorce rate is off the roof. You never see your wife!!

You’ve heard the lazy @Bottoms saying how hard it is building those American highways. You build them until your knees pop off. Sio China ikuje ijenge!!!

You must work. Even the Bible says so. China is only in Kenya to help China!! That’s it. Na sio ati hamjui hii maneno.

[patco]

Ati you want Kenya to be like Japan or China or South Korea…

Ati wawajengee. Hakuna.

In China you work in the factory until you go mad. Or preferably fall down dead. 24 hour economy. In Japan they sleep in the train like zombies. They have special hotels for sleeping. You sleep 20 minutes and go back to work!

In Singapore and South Korea hakuna hata time ya kuoa. That’s what it takes to be a super power.

[SIZE=7]Chinese firm starts work on $1bn Panamanian megaport[/SIZE]

[SIZE=5]A $1bn project to build a new deepwater port and container terminal near the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal has begun. Both its developer and the firm building it are Chinese.[/SIZE]
China Landbridge, a privately owned company based in the northern Chinese port of Rizhao, bought Panama’s largest port, at Margarita Island, in May last year and announced that it wanted to expand and modernise the facilities. The new high-speed, deepwater port will be called the Panama Colón Container Port (PCCP).
[INDENT]“With the canal expansion, the future of Panama is bright”– Kenneth Zhang, PCCP[/INDENT]
In line with China’s grand One Belt, One Road global strategy, the plan is to capitalise on the doubling in the capacity of the canal, which can now handle the New Panamax container ships that can transport up to 14,500 teu (twenty-foot equivalent units). That work was completed in June last year.

The first stone of the port was laid on 7 June by Panamanian president Juan Carlos Varela, who commented that the port was the most important Chinese investment in Panama so far.

Ye Cheng, the president of Landbridge Group, said during the ceremony that the port would become one of the most important in the world. He said: “Landbridge’s ports in Asia and Oceania together with PCCP on Margarita Island will be efficiently connected to exploit maritime cooperation, contributing to the economic development of all countries.”

Kenneth Zhang, a representative for the PCCP, said last year: “We look at the project on long term and we feel pretty good with the investment. With the canal expansion, the future of Panama is bright, even though we know the maritime sector presently suffers a global crisis but we have a different reading for the future.”

The work will be carried out in three stages. The first will increase the port’s handling capacity to 2.5 million teu and add a liquefied natural gas terminal.

The contractor will be China Communications Construction Company. When the first stage is complete in the second quarter of 2019, PCCP will have four berths with a total quay length of 1.2km and a depth of 18m.

The second and third stages will add a logistics park and more cranage to the port. According to Panamanian website [I]Critica[/I], the final port will have a capacity of 11 million teu, making it the 13th largest container port in the world.

Its construction is expected to create 800 jobs. Some concern has been raised in Panamanian media that local workers may not benefit from this increase in employment.
The Panama America website quotes a stonemason called Reynaldo Bermúdez, 33, who intends to apply for a job, and who called on the project’s managers to hire Panamanians rather than “bringing in cheap labour from other parts of the world”.

China Landbridge hit the headlines in May last year when it acquired a 99-year lease on the northern Australian port of Darwin for $361m. This prompted the US government to express concern that the Chinese presence could be used to “facilitate intelligence collection on US and Australian military forces stationed nearby”.

Apparently while Trump builds walls on the Mexico border China is building ports to facilitate trade with the world…

So it is a Port you are talking about not the CANAL.
Please stop generating fake news.
Having a port on the canal does not translate to controlling the canal
The Chinese can never have control of Panama.
The people there are as Pro-US, the Government is an American stooge and so much offshore American wealth has been stashed in Panama city.
