The American terrorists have been hyping about freedom of navigation in the South China Sea ie freedom only for American warships and warships of American allies and cronies. Under the American gangster rules based order, freedom applies only for them. Chinese warships and warships of American enemies do not have the right to freedom of navigation.
Trump was flabbergasted when he found out that many of the ports in the Panama Canal was owned by Hong Kong, China, by Li Kashing's Cheung Kong Hutchinson. And he followed the same narrative, that China is controlling the Panama Canal and a threat to American warships and freedom of navigation. Even if China wants to control the Panama Canal and control the movement of American ships, the Americans could easily move in to take over the Canal militarily. Panama Canal is too far from China and China is unable to protect it if the American terrorists seek to take it over. So, the narrative of China controlling the Panama Canal and a threat to the Americans is another hogwash. This is the same story that China is a threat to America and wanting to invade America. A big silly American lie perpetrated for decades and centuries. The real threat is America against China, every day talking of starting a war with China. In fact, other than a hot war, the Americans have started so many kinds of wars against China. China is only defending and reacting to the American threat.
The real threat to freedom of navigation is from the Americans. Trump is going to take over the Panama Canal by force to deprive Chinese ships the freedom of navigation through the Canal. Buying over the stake of all the ports from Li Kashing is not enough. Trump wants American soldiers guarding and controlling the Panama Canal.
This is another confirmation that when the American terrorists accused any country of anything bad, the Americans are the one committing the crime or offensive act. Freedom of navigation through the Panama Canal will cease once the American terrorists take control of it. Ya, American gangsters' rules based order in action.
Just wondering what was in Li Kashing's mind when he sold his entire stake in the Panama Canal to the American terrorists to facilitate them to take over the Canal and to control the movement of Chinese ships through the Canal. He cannot be that dumb not to know the implications and consequences against the interests of China. Maybe he never regards himself as Chinese, still a loyal British subject, a WOG. So, it does not matter to him if the Americans triumph over China and rule the world against the interests of China. Is money and profit the only things that matter to him? Does he have a country, a motherland? Is he a Chinese or something else?

American gangsters demand freedom of navigation everywhere, sail n fly their warships n warplanes everywhere. But in areas they controlled , there is no freedom of navigation for others.
Now Trump is threatening a 25% tariff on countries buying Venezuelan oil. In other words, Trump wants to control global trade using his tariffs to threaten those who go against him. Suffice to say, this is targeted against China and India, the two top buyers of discounted oil from Venezuela.
Why isn't Trump already doing the same thing with Russian oil by imposing a 25% tariff against China, India and of all countries, Saudi Arabia, knowing full well that the latter three countries are buying Russian oil like no tomorrow?
Let us be honest. In time to come, countries will know how to navigate those tariffs, just like those sanctions that have failed to take down any country, including Venezuela, for tens of decades. Trump can play around with his tariff threat, like playing around with his pussy grabbing hands, which will not be effective if all BRICS and Global South countries curb exports to the USA and just do more trade among BRICS countries using their own currencies. Such moves by Trump will hurt USA consumers the most.
Countries must always remember now that the USA is not the only market for their products unlike in the past. USA citizens are no more the rich guys with high spending power. That has already been overtaken by the East, like the Japanese and Chinese. Some USA citizens even need two jobs to put food on the table and pay the rent, so how much spending power is left which can allow them to go for extras. The rich got richer with tax cuts and help to grow richer from their donations to power grabbers, the middle class have been destroyed, while the peasant class are struggling just to survive. What else is left to provide a big enough market for imported goods? Ironically, this is the USA, the richest country in the world, not communist China.
Moreover, the USA is not in a position to provide cheaper substitutes for its own consumers without most cheap imports from China, with 80% of products in Walmar and Amazon all sourced from China. Chinese exporters just have to migrate more exports to countries outside the USA, which China is still building up like in Africa, while the USA is doing the opposite to shut itself off. The talk of 'Made in USA' is still a far-off dream and will take years to come to fruition, even after Trump leaves office. The USA has not even started on its journey of sourcing for raw materials and setting up refining logistics to enable such manufacturing to take shape. And the USA will be making products so uncompetitive outside the USA but just ripping off its own consumers. Some consumers may try to be patriotic, talking about sacrifices for the country's good and willing to suffer the pain and supporting made in USA, but when the shit hits the fan, they will be crying foul. As if the revelation by Rednote is not enough to wake them up.
A filthy rich Chinese Traitor. Apparently the Chinese Government offered to buy over much earlier (even at a higher price than the present sale BlackRock) but was rejected by that betrayer who had been milking China & HongKong. Granted he built some schools but seems to be wagging his tail for the White master.
In the long run, Americans will reap the consequences of his smart aleck trade policy.
For one, either inflation will hit the roof if merchandise are locally made or the market will be devoid of many essentials and products.
According to a TW political pundit, a former TW consular rep. in NZ, LKY once said the LkS had never cared for the interest of the Chinese people but his own and his businesses.
Li Ka Shing aka Li Ka Chng aka Backsides!
That traitor has been cursed by all Chinese.
He always wanted to be a UK Citizen, since 1989, so his loyalty to Hong Kong is just to make more money, cash out and run. LKY is spot on, as always.
The stake comprises not just the two ports at either end of the Panama Canal, but also all 43 global ports belonging to C. K. Hutchison. Some say that this is in line with Trump's gloating about imposing a US$1 million levy on ships built in China calling at any USA controlled ports.
Anyway, there are about 835 ports around the world and the USA does not control every one of them. Moreover, ports in China, Hong Kong and in those countries friendly with China and depending on China trade are not going to cut their noses to spite their faces by following the USA's bidding.
Trump may use the Panama Canal to control or deny Chinese ships moving between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but he is going to give the impetus for Nicaragua and Mexico to revisit projects to rival the Panama Canal to serve Chinese ships and owners of ships built in China transversing the two Oceans.
The Nicaragua Canal Project had been put on hold for decades and may be refloated if the benefits are seen to outweigh the environmental costs. This has been the sticking point, not that funding is not available. The Chinese were already willing to undertake the project, but due to environmental issues had to put that on hold. Building another canal with China's experience and with machineries at its disposal is going to be a piece of cake, not necessary taking decades. Suffice to say, even the Panama Canal is now seen as an environmental disaster due to climate change and freshwater insufficiency competing with civilian needs.
