He pointed out that less than 1 percent of all Hutchison investors are Chinese. I'm British for starters. I don't even speak the language. According to Powers, Hutchison employs about 500 Bahamians. Only five managers are not Bahamians, mostly British nationals.
None are Chinese.
Despite the strong claims made by Hutchison that China has no interest in their Bahamian port, evidence suggests otherwise. According to the log, China's ambassador to the Bahamas, MA Shuxue, has visited the port facility at least a half dozen times in the past few years. He has also accompanied groups of Chinese government officials. On other occasions Chinese governmental or commercial representatives have also paid visits without the presence of Ambassador Shuxue. The visitor logbook indicates Chinese officials have visited the port more often than officials from any other country, including the United States.
