China halts the sale.

Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison, led by tycoon Li Ka-shing, will not sign a deal next week to sell its two strategic ports at the Panama Canal to a BlackRock-led group, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday.
The deal was expected to be signed on April 2, according to the sale announcement made on March 4. It is understood the situation does not mean the deal has been called off, the South China Morning Post added, citing the source.
(...)
Pro-Beijing Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao said in an editorial piece on March 21 that the transaction should to be scrapped as the deal is a “perfect cooperation” with the U.S. strategy to contain China.

JD Vance gives much longer speech and answers reporters questions inside the US military base in Greenland:

Greenlanders got a pretty good deal from Danish rule, I'd say. Good living standards, Christianity (albeit Lutheranism), European education, and a high degree of autonomy. You look at a place like Gaza and thank God it was some Danes and Norwegians who landed on your shores centuries ago.

Christianity helped every land it spread to, the belief and gospel of God and Jesus are beautiful enriching things. Islam and Judaism just trashed whatever they came across including my ancestors lands.

Inuit Greenlander society is comparable to that of their cousins in Canada, aka high suicide rates, high sexual abuse rates, high alcoholism and drug abuse rates and high unemployment rates. Like in Canada the dysfunction gets subsidized by the State.

Link below is about a case study in Tasiilaq that revealed that about half of the people under 60 were sexually abused as a child, often by their immediate family. Also close to 1/10 of the Greenlanders (which includes Danes who bring the statistics down) end their life by suicide. That means that in every school class (~30 kids) on average 3 alumni will eventually hang or shoot themselves.

Denmark is a longtime NATO member state. They helped occupy ("peace-keep") Kosovo and have basically gone along with most American military misadventures (e.g., actively supporting the invasion and occupation of Iraq). Now they are listening to Americans like JD Vance talk about how Denmark cannot protect Greenland and that the United States is needed to keep the peace. I bet many Serbs are grimacing.
