"I think the Chinese purpose in using bribery and corrupt methods to win the bidding for the contract on managing the ports at both ends of the Panama Canal has both a geopolitical and a commercial purpose. Geopolitically, China sees its location in Panama as a place where it can establish a base of influence in a small country, using political and commercial means, where it can work closely with its new ally Cuba to help those who oppose the United States in Latin America, and where it might also be able to position weapons such as medium-range missiles that potentially could be used to threaten the United States in times of crisis, or times of the choosing of the Chinese regime."

According to sources in SoCal, there are many Chicom military sightings at the Tijuana/San Diego border area within the past couple of years. The people down there on the South side are happy to have them spending money in large amounts there since it is helping the mexican economy. But think about the implications of that info. Its close to much of the commerce here. And if any are in cahoots with those who would do us harm, and if our borders are as porous as they seem to be, we do have a serious problem.
