Chinese businessman Wang Jing, head of HKND, is moving forward with plans to build a canal in Nicaragua to compete with the Panama Canal. While Wang claims the project is privately funded, reports indicate that the Russian and Chinese governments will participate. The project aims to accommodate super-tankers and large container ships that the Panama Canal cannot handle.

China is significantly expanding its influence in Central America, providing backing for a proposed canal in Nicaragua to compete with the Panama Canal. In Costa Rica, the Chinese have built national stadiums and donated police vehicles that prominently feature the Chinese flag. This "oversight" by U.S. foreign policy has allowed China to establish a firm foothold in a region traditionally dominated by American interests.
