In other words , Lebannon will get a new port , will make some payments and then default. Which means they get the port for free. China will get strategic needs out of it and it will function for the Lebanons needs as well.
Looks like a win win. Far from ideal but better than having no fucking port at all
You have no fucking idea what this is about, do you?

^Why they do not do as others do?

Iran calls on US to lift sanctions on Lebanon, urges against ‘politicizing’ Beirut blast
"the Pentagon has claimed that it needs to be more cautious when administering aid to Lebanon, and expressed “concerns with whom the aid would go to.”

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
You haven't read about the sanctions at all have you?
I'll repeat what I said, because you might have missed it, or perhaps you're trying to pretend it doesn't exist.
There are no sanctions against "Lebanon", there are sanctions against the Hizbollah terrorists and their terrorist supporters.
And how much did you donate to help the Lebanese about whom you pretend to care so much?
Here's the link again so that HooHoo and Backspin can demonstrate their sincerity.
Donation
The Seppo empire is a crew of raving hypocrites. After they won the so called war on communism , Clinton jumped in bed with the Communist party of China. It was all about regime change back then too. And its funny how badly that worked out
The modern world is the hideous love child between Margret Thatcher and Deng Xiopeng
Beirut explosion: Lebanon's government 'to resign' as death toll rises
The Lebanese government is reportedly about to resign amid mounting anger over last Tuesday's explosion in Beirut that killed more than 200 people.
Health Minister Hamad Hasan was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying an announcement would be made soon.
Three ministers have already stepped down, but there have been calls for the whole cabinet to go.

time for the iranians via their proxy hezbollah to step up to the plate no doubt.
and their neighbours to the south will be tooling up on hearing this news.
They have their politicians already in the coalition government. Not sure if any of them are those who have allegedly resigned, yet.
Typical western SOP, wreck a country, regime change, demanded by a funded managed mob, throw cash to allow promises to be made by a "selected few" candidates, place "support" (their unexceptional military) near by, to threaten.
They need a decent government not the western vassals they had in place.
So HooHoo have you donated yet?
The link I provided is a solely Lebanese charity that has been around a long time, provides medical services, feeds and educates people, etc.
They will take food, blankets, or financial donations.
If you don't donate, one can only assume that you don't really care about the Lebanese people at all and you're just full of shit.
Why we do not understand such clear matter? (as 'arry's understanding - who can be more clever than him?)
Hadn't such sanctions been imposed against Fidel and his party, not against Cuba, had they? And see how the sanctions have helped to Cuban people: their doctors can now help to cure their neighbours...
(similarly the sanctions are helping to Russians, wasn't here recently the link?)
Derp...wrong thread

Container lines resume calls to Beirut as terminal restarts operations
"Container lines have resumed calls to Beirut after last week’s explosion, with the terminal having sustained only minor damage, leading companies said on Tuesday. The Aug. 4 blast in Beirut’s port, which killed more than 160 people and injured 6,000 more, demolished entire neighbourhoods of Lebanon’s capital in seconds.
Container lines diverted ships to Lebanon’s smaller port of Tripoli to keep vital supply lines running.
“We are glad to advise that the container terminal suffered only minor damage and it has restarted operations,” German container line Hapag Lloyd (HLAG.DE) said in a note to customers on Tuesday, adding that its first ship to call at Beirut since the disaster is due to dock on Aug. 14.
“Alongside our service reinstatement, we are also reopening booking acceptance for cargo to and from Beirut,” the company said, adding that it was still evaluating the extent of damage to its containers that were in the port at the time of the blast.
Hapag Lloyd’s office in Beirut had been completely destroyed but staff were unharmed.
Lebanon, which imports almost everything it uses, relies on container ships to bring in items ranging from refrigerated food cargoes to clothing and other consumer goods.
Beirut’s container port has an annual average capacity of just over 1 million TEUs (20 foot equivalent units), compared with Tripoli’s 400,000 TEUs, which could be enlarged to 600,000 TEUs and a maximum of 750,000 TEUs if more cranes are installed, shipping data shows.
French container line CMA CGM said separately on Tuesday it was fully operational again in Beirut, adding that its first container vessel had discharged in the port on Monday.
“The operation was very smooth. The container vessels commercial operations are resuming normally since the 10th of August at Beirut port,” CMA said in a statement.
“Ships were temporarily diverted to Tripoli where a logistics hub has been established, as well as to other ports in the region.”
CMA said last week that one of its Beirut staff who had been missing after the explosion had died. "
