i literally started a thread showing panama painting over chinese signage and got laughed off the board; you are seriously telling me i'm pivoting when posters were making comments like roger?

you can never admit you were wrong on any issue ever

Are you aware that people can use different words to describe the same thing? If you are, then you should know that your methodology is flawed.

Did you read the argument? You're AKTCHUALLY'ing Rog (incorrectly) and I don't think you realize it.

Rog is pointing out that China doesn't specifically own the canal, a corporation does. You're trying to expand that and it doesn't work.

This board? I doubt that.

You are cherrypicking words and not posting the full context of what Rog was specifically arguing.

his words..HIS WORDS..are literally "Are you under the impression that China has evern controlled the canal?"

point out where he said "owned". jesus.

eta and you're picking at semantics and driving me off the same cliff.

for you to sit here and act like people on this board weren't laughing and scoffing at the idea that china had a major stake and influence on the canal and trump wanting to take it back was just because he was being petty.

Yeah but those worse also didn't seem to exist.

Nobody disputed China had a presence in Panama, in that thread.

The "threat" language creates a lot more room for pivoting, though, I do admit.

come on slo, put the lawyer hat down a second. we're all talking about the same thing; china incursion in panama.

everyone is using different words to say the same thing so you're bouncing from post to post like whack-a-mole trying to be "right" and belittle them

Yes, because he's pointing out a corporation, not the government of China, does.

What's factually incorrect about that?

You mean other than these?

He's playing to the idiotic base.

He's right that China has never owned or operated the canal though.

Owned by Hutchison.

They have ports all across the globe, this deal included all of them.

Hutchison's deal with BlackRock included 80 percent ownership of CK Hutchison's portfolio of 43 global ports

China does not own the ports.

China does not own or control the canal and has no more power than the other port operators along the canal.

Do your own research for once in your life, and come back.

That is on page 1 alone.

Panama is, with great speed, attempting to take down the 64% of signs which are written in Chinese. They are all over the Zone, because China controls the Panama Canal. PANAMA IS NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!
