TRUMP RIDS MAJOR U.S. CONTAINER PORT OF CHINESE COMMUNIST CONTROL.
Judicial Watch: Under a long-term deal sealed by the Obama administration, a Chinese Communist company was set to control the second-busiest container port in the United States. In an unreported Trump administration victory, the Communists are out after a drawn-out national security review forced a unit of China-based COSCO Shipping Holdings Co. (Orient Overseas Container Line—OOCL) to sell the cherished container terminal business, which handles among the largest freight of imports into the U.S.
It all started with a 40-year container terminal lease between the Port of Long Beach in southern California and Hong Kong. The Obama administration proudly signed the agreement in 2012 giving China control of America’s second-largest container port behind the nearby Port of Los Angeles. One of the Trump administration’s first big moves was to get the Communists out of the Port of Long Beach. After a national security review and federal intervention, the Long Beach terminal business, which handles millions of containers annually, is finally being sold to an Australian company called Macquarie Infrastructure Partners. That essentially kills China’s decades-long contract with the Obama administration. more here
YAAY!!!
NEVER get tired of winning!
Now boot them out of Panama too.
Watch the Courts reverse this.
CC – Exactly.
The Chinese have been there so long, there are generations of them that have grown up speaking Spanish. And they don’t marry with the natives, either. They bring in fresh bodies from China.
Another obama policy kicked to the curb.
HOW MUCH MONEY DID OBAMA GET FOR THIS???
Why the hell did they sell it to Australia? Why was it being sold anyway?
Barry is a traitor!
Fascist/Communist control of our ports can’t be allowed. If the PRC has control over any other US infrastructure, get them out of there as well, and do it quickly.
Because Americans are too lazy to do that work.
(Do I need a ‹sarc› tag? Really!?)
I am surprised
almost as surprised that our previous government thought china should control it.
It started with President Clinton!!

Chinese Got Long Beach Deal!
“Between 1995-1996, during the heat of the Clinton-Gore Campaign fund raising activity, the Clinton administration actively intervened to make sure a Communist Chinese cargo container shipping interest got a too-good deal on a Long Beach, California, shipping terminal.
The Secretary of the Navy has formally turned the base over to the City of Long Beach. But, the Port of Long Beach has signed a letter of intent to lease the property to the China Ocean Shipping Co., a steamship line run by the Communist Chinese government.
The Navy base property is about to be leased to a Communist China-owned shipping company under an agreement that was only made possible by the intervention of the White House.
Forced by a court order, Port of Long Beach officials have now set March 12, 1997 for a new public hearing on plans to bulldoze the Naval Station and lease the property to the Comunist Chinese shipping company.
After a hearing before the court, a judge ruled last week that the deal had been rushed and proper procedures had not been in place.
Clinton was so eager to push the deal through that he met twice with Long Beach officials and once at a White House meeting in 1995 that included his then-chief of staff and the Pentagon’s No. 2 official and others.”
Gee, how are all these drugs from China getting into the U.S.?
many east coast ports are controlled by middle eastern companies
