A Chinese firm (HKND) is planning to construct a canal to rival Panama's. I've been following this issue as I prepared to co-author an article for Maps 101 with Julie Dixon and it is clearly a major environmental issue. However, this issue is much more geographic than just the angle; China and Nicaragua are vying for greater control and access to the shipping lanes that dominate the global economy and international trade. This shows that they are each attempting to bolster their regional and international impact compared to their rivals (the United States for China and Panama for Nicaragua).

The Nicaraguan government plans to build a canal linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. This canal will be 278km (273 miles) and stretch from Punta Gorda through Lake Nicaragua in the Atlantic to the mouth of the Brito river in the Atlantic. This canal will cost over 40 billion dollars just to rival the Panama Canal. It will be 230m- 520m wide and 27.6m deep. Construction will be expected to begin in December and be finished within 5 years.

The Nicaragua Canal is planned to rival the Panama Canal and give the Chinese the easier and cheaper route. Since the US own the Panama Canal, they can control the rates they give out to other countries wanting to use the Canal. China, upset with these rates us trying to take control of their own Canal that passes threw Nicaragua and avoiding the Panama traffic.
