The "South China Morning post" has reported that
the Communist gorvernt of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua have arrived in China to participate
in talks to create a canal in Panama to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific.A Hong
Kong development company has been commisioned by the government of Nicaragua to
build the canal, at a cost of 40 Billion dollars.
The Chairman of the development company HKND, is giving
assurances that the purpose of the canal is strictly commercial and has no
military purpose. He also made the assertion that the government of China had
no part in the commisioning of the canal.
The son of Communist Strongman Ortega, Laureno Ortega
Murillo, led the delegation to China. meanwhile, another member Francisco Siles, hailed the
project as heralding "a new
historical phase" in Chinese-Nicaraguan relations.
Given the history of the two regimes and their
reprensenatives, their assurances of the canals purpose . and the possible role
of the Chinese regime in it must be taken as relatively valueless. It is
becoming increasingly evident that the government in China is determined to
achieve global economic and military hegemony, and seeks to achieve it at the
expense of the west in general and America in particular.
Whether the canal will have a stragegic military role or not
will depend on its structure and depth. Given China's massive naval building
program it would seem likely it will be built with potential military use in
mind. Apart from its military potential , the canal will certainly aid the
Chinese regime in moving its exports throughout the North American market
further eroding our manufactoring base, expanding our trade imbalance, and
impovershing our working class.
Meanwhile China, facing regional and religious
dissent, a working class that is demanding a bigger share of the pie will need
something to divert its people from the disparities and contradictions in the
Chinese Communist social structure. Add the fact that its one child policy
means that there are millions more males that females, and the prospects of
China becoming ever more agressive
