Panama government can be bought off. Always has been. The canal is a vehicle for graft and money laundering.

Of course
My point is the canal provides more opportunities. Without the canal what can Panama barter with. I suppose fruit. Do they grow fruit in Panama? I must be thinking of Nicaragua

They arent buying the whole canal. Just two ports on either side of it.
