Chinese Soldiers & the Panama Canal

A viral conspiracy theory claims Chinese soldiers are secretly guarding the Panama Canal, having been stationed there under a clause in the handover agreement so obscure it's written in invisible ink on the back of a napkin. The theory, spread by a man whose only source is a dream he had, has gained shocking traction. "It makes sense!" he argues. "Who else could handle that level of logistical precision? Also, have you seen the hats?" Fact-checkers are exhausted, pointing to the actual Panamanian guards doing their jobs. But the idea is too delicious to die�a perfect blend of geopolitical anxiety and sheer imagination. The Chinese government hasn't denied it, perhaps realizing that being seen as omnipotent and everywhere is far better than the truth. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
