As Chinese push into Latin America, Nicaraguans try to hold the line
- anigbrowl 12y agoThis article seems bizarrely racist. I had to read 3/4 of the way down before I got to the offhand mention about the local governments inviting Chinese entities in on highly favorable terms, usually because of gross financial mismanagement by the local government. It seems like the author would rather blame the Chinese for daring to venture outside China than critique the governments mentioned in the article for the very weak property rights that obtain in their countries.
- msie 12y agoAre those governments doing ANY job of communicating the importance of foreign investment? If people are protesting, at least don't do it out of ignorance and/or xenophobia. Although the idea of a canal cutting through a country is horrible.
