East coast needs a brand new port

China is already building a seaport on our East Coast.

"Nevertheless, China’s presence is already felt. In Jamaica, for instance, China Harbour Engineering Company is scheduled to invest $1.5 billion to build a transshipment port on Goat islands. The port will serve as a logistic hub for China to take advantage of Panama Canal expansion and modernization. From China’s perspective this extends its global distribution capacity.

In Cuba, an ally of China’s, China Development Bank invested $500 million in a nickel processing facility. Similarly, SINOPEC, the Chinese petroleum giant, has been conducting offshore seismic testing since 2008. Great Wall Drilling has provided drilling rigs off of Cuba’s northern coast."

I'm sure you're aware that due to President Carter and Clinton, they also control the ports at both ends of the greatly expanded Panama Canal.

What could go wrong?

Who says we need a brand new port, and why? Plenty of ec ports have been expanding as trade grows and as they prepare for the expanded Panama canal. Meanwhile excitement has cooled regarding the massive ships for the expanded Panama canal.

I dont see ec port demand outstripping supply in any real way. You?
