But even bigger ships are being built.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most U.S. tankers that carry liquefied natural gas to Asia fall into the post-Panamax Plus category \u2014 five times too big for the current canal. The fleet of these super-sized ships is expected to grow.<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-blockquote\"><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">So it\u2019s perhaps no surprise the Chinese are interested in another canal expansion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Chinese delegation led by Mo Wenhe, chairman of Beijing-based China Harbour Engineering Co., and Wei Hua Wang from the Chinese-Panamanian Office of Business Development, met last week with Jorge Quijano, the canal administrator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are exploring our participation in all canal projects, especially in the design, construction and financing of a fourth set of locks,\u201d Mo said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">CHEC, which plans to set up its regional headquarters in Panama, has 10,000 employees and works in 80 countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent years, China has invested in strategic infrastructure projects throughout Latin America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Chinese telecom tycoon Wang Jing is eyeing another route for a Central American canal \u2014 through Nicaragua. The canal he envisions would be three times as long as the Panama Canal, would be able to handle super tankers and has a $60 billion price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">There has been the perception that even though the United States turned over control of the canal to Panama in 1999, China wants its own Atlantic-Pacific water route because it regards the Panama Canal as still in Washington\u2019s sphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nicaragua has granted a 50-year renewable concession to build a canal through the Central American country to Wang\u2019s Hong Kong-based HKND Group, but there are a lot of skeptics from environmentalists to those who question whether the technology and financing are there for such a massive venture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI don\u2019t think the Nicaragua canal is a real starter,\u201d said Michael L. Conniff, a San Jose State University history professor who wrote the book \u201cPanama and the United States: The Forced Alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Panamanians have staked an awful lot on the expansion and that will have a pretty important impact on world trade in the future,\u201d Conniff said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Canal officials say the current expansion is about 78 percent complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The irony of China\u2019s interest in the Panama Canal is that Panama is one of the few countries in the Americas that don\u2019t have diplomatic relations with mainland China. It has ties with Taiwan and Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou visited Panama on July 1 for the inauguration of President Juan Carlos Varela.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a cable released by WikiLeaks that was sent by the former U.S. ambassador here, Panama had explored switching its allegiance to Beijing but was rebuffed by China in a 2010 meeting because China didn\u2019t want to jeopardize its improving relationship with Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Varela is clearly interested in China, it looks like the status quo of diplomatic relations with Taiwan and an economic relationship with China will continue for the time being.<\/p>\n<p class=\"GDT-GDT STORY Text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWithout any doubt, China is the future but the diplomatic truce must be respected,\u201d Varela said in June after meeting with the editorial board of the daily La Estrella de Panama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With some 16 months to go before we finish the first canal expansion, could another set of
