How does the recent sale of Panama Canal port stakes relate to broader U.S.-China economic and geopolitical competition?

Hegseth's visit comes amidst a global trade war and concerns over China's economic influence. The U.S. recently pressured CK Hutchison, a Hong Kong conglomerate, to sell its stake in Panama Canal ports to BlackRock, an American investment firm. This deal, while seemingly shifting control away from China, is now disputed by Panama due to outstanding debts.

What are the historical precedents for the framing of Chinese infrastructure investments in Latin America as a military threat?

This narrative, rooted in historical precedents of 'prescriptive geopolitics' (Mackinder, Haushofer, Kissinger), constructs strategic locations by associating them with threats. The sale exemplifies this by shifting control to a US entity, ostensibly mitigating a perceived Chinese military threat. This approach ignores the potential benefits for Panama and Peru.
