The Nicaragua Grand Canal project is funded by a Hong Kong businessman who is adamant that the Chinese government not be involved in the project. Given the participation of China’s government in all aspects of life, this is unusual.

Exactly who is financially backing the project is unclear, but Nicaragua’s president signed on the plan with alacrity and scarcely a glance at the 30,000 people who may be required to move from their lands. The canal will split the country in two and six municipalities will find themselves divided. There will be only one bridge across the canal along its entire length.

These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance.
