President Donald Trump has incorrectly claimed China controls the canal (Panama controls it, although China owns ports on both sides of the crucial maritime passage). Trump has threatened to have the United States once again take control of the canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

What in the r-slurred journoslop does this mean? If you control both ports at either end of this canal, do you not control the canal?

>China can bar anyone from entering or leaving the canal, but they can't open or close the sections within the canal, so they actually don't control it. :marseyindignant:

Chinks cant stop you from entering the canal (and probably not even from anchoring at the ports, just make it inconvenient I imagine). At most they can keep you from anchoring at the harbor.

Its like owning a house on both sides of the road doesnt mean i can stop anyone from driving on the street.

i can stop anyone from driving on the street

If I were to emplace anti-ship missiles and air defense in my backyards on both ends of the street, I could sure try

Obviously China couldn't keep it closed in the long term, but they could make themselves a b-word to dig out

And owning those ports helps that... how?

Its not a naval base, and if youre gonna counter "well they could hiiide the AShM" im gonna call you an r-slur since they can do that just as well in any port they dont own.

chine couldn't legally prevent american ships from passing through the canal. only physically. which is the only thing that matters in most scenarios in which china might wish to prevent american ships from passing through.

And how does owning the port change anything about it?

Better question, do you know what "owning a port" actually means?

It's where they can refuel and stock up on supplies. What do you think ports do? :marseyconfused:

China can bar anyone from entering or leaving the canal, but they can't open or close the sections within the canal, so they actually don't control it.

by this account Denmark and Sweden should continue duking it out for control of the valuable Øresund.... have you magatards literally not progressed for a 17th century view of seafaring ? "MUH CHINKS GOT EM BALL CANNONS ON BOTHS SIDES"

its modern parlance, like when people say "unalived" instead of dead.

if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better. ~George Orwell :marseyobey:
