About 50 years ago there was a plan to expand the canal with nukes, it would also have flattened the canal, getting rid of the need for locks.

This is nothing new. Panama is simply completing the Third Locks Project that the US started around 1939. The excavation for the locks at Miraflores and Gatun was actually finished but by then the war was on and material to build the locks could not be obtained so it was abandoned. The water filled cuts can be seen beside the present locks.

I find it interesting that the Panam Canal is now "operated" not by the Panama Canal Commission as stipulated by treay, but by a Chinese corporation, staffed heavily by engineering personnel seconded from the Peoples Army. Funny that?
Thanks, Jimmy Carter. Someday when a Marine or soldier is dying on the beach trying to open the canal to US ships, he'll think of you.
Panama Canal is not ... ( 11 meses por hardyames)
Panama Canal is not operated by a Chinese Corporation staffed by Chinese Army Engineers, its 100% Panamanian Engineers. Panama Canal Authority is 100% owned by Panama who run canal very efficiently.
There are 40,000 U.S. citizens resident of Panama who have chosen to live permanently. So why have they done that if Chinese are controlling things since the U.S.pulled out ??
So your comments are just a myth...

The reason we gave the canal to Panama,so they could get the revenue from it to pay their national debt to the international banksters.

The US built the canal but never intended to keep it for themselves. The US was actually beginning construction of new, wider locks when WW2 started and construction was halted. This is why ships like the carrier Essex and battleships like the Montana were designed with beams greater then 108 feet.

The canal expansion is so that they can pass what we call "Panamax" which are the biggest ones that can pass through the canal but something that now one has noticed here is that our goverment is being manipulated by the U.S. goverment and our presidents are lieing pices of shi... The U.S. is doing all the projects that are going on up to date even the ones for turists... I think the canal is going to end up in the hands of the U.S. agin... just wait and see....

How naive can people be? The Canal Operated by the chinese??? hahaha. Nvr! In actualliity the Canal was being run by Panamanians & the Us since the late 80's. In an effort to get everything ready for the hand over in dec 31 st 1999. So plz people dont talk crap! As a matter of fact the Pilots that guide the ships through the Canal are Panamanians, and guess what? they make excellent money about $6k per month.
