Panama Canal Checks China’s Influence
A court ruling in Panama has reignited global attention on the Panama Canal—this time as a U.S.-China power contest, not a capacity story. Panama’s top court voided a license held by a CK Hutchison subsidiary to operate two container terminals at either end of the canal, a route that handles roughly 40% of U.S. container traffic. Washington views the move as a win for limiting China’s influence over a critical trade artery, while Beijing has responded with unusually sharp warnings and signs of retaliatory measures—from pausing state-firm talks on new Panama projects to heightened inspections of Panamanian imports and potential cargo rerouting. CK Hutchison has moved the dispute into international arbitration, setting up what analysts expect to be a prolonged legal and political battle with pressure from both capitals.
