China BLOCKS BlackRock from buying a strategic port in Panama from its current Hong Kong-based owner. BlackRock attempted to acquire Panama Colon Container Terminal, a key port near the Panama Canal — one of the most important global trade routes. Chinese regulators blocked the sale, saying it would “endanger public interest” and national security. In other words: No American financial firm will be allowed to control a gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific. BlackRock isn’t just any investment firm. It’s a $10 trillion behemoth with: • Deep ties to the U.S. State Department, Pentagon, and Federal Reserve • A track record of extractive capitalism (housing, land, energy, war profiteering) • Access to sensitive data across sectors and countries • A role in managing U.S. sanctions and defense portfolios Panama = Geopolitical chokepoint The Panama Canal sees over 5% of global maritime trade. Control of its ports = leverage over global supply chains. In the era of multipolarity, Beijing is drawing red lines: No foreign financial hegemony over strategic infrastructure. BlackRock wanted to own the gates to a global shipping artery. China slammed that gate shut. This is more than a blocked sale — it’s a direct blow to U.S. financial imperialism.
