No, I’m not a Chicom sympathizer. I live the in the Republic of Panama and am closer to what is going on than are most people. The hysteria about the Panama Canal from outsiders is overwhelming thanks to the misinformation from the likes of NewsMax. Besides, although Hushison Whampoa is a Chinese company, it is managed by the British here. We have no RPCs running around the place. The big worry here concerns the Colombian terrorists and their terrorist friends sitting at our eastern boarder and not the Chinese who are sitting in China. Also, for a little added information, Panama has diplomatic ties with Taiwan and not the Peoples Republic of Panama.
