15. But this makes no sense at all.
The Panamanian government and 9000 Panamanian employees run the Canal. Hutchison, an international company based in Hong Kong runs the ports, but its workers are Panamanians. How could Hutchison possibly close down the Canal. The could close the port I suppose by telling their workers not to load or unload, but that would just void their contract with the Panamanian government and they would be replaced. In no way would that restrict the movement of ships through the Canal. This is Newsmax fearmongering.
