#3 Li Ka-shing is head of Hutchison Wampoa, front company for the Chicoms. Got Panama port contracts, both ends of the Canal, acquiring mineral companies in Canada for the Chicoms, get the picture?

Thanks Paul, the pic is clear as hell for most of us but way too many in North Americans [even a couple of RBees] think that the Chicoms are nothing but rival trading partners.

guessing that most of those who "think" this way likely derive $$$ themselves directly from the Chicom Trade.

#4 And in a related development that has received very little attention, Washington State Rep, Mary Margaret Haugen (democrat, natch) has introduced legislation in WA that would levy a 'container tax' on all incoming units to help stimulate construction of infrastructure to move goods out of the Puget Sound ports inland. Understandably, all the shippers have stated that if that goes throuhg, they will look to take their business elsewhere. And KaChing will have oeprators standing by......

#5 There was a report I saw many years ago online that basically stated that the Chicoms had already moved ICBMs or at least nuclear warheads into the ports they basically own at both ends of the PC.

Thanks again, Jimmy Carter...
