#4 Curiously misleading article, China has a huge footprint in Panama though the Warehouses in the Colon Free Zone and the number of Chinese employed directly or indirectly by Hutchinson Whampoa involved in infrastructure management. They don't need to sneak through the Darien Gap, they just take a boat to Colon.

"...the population of Chinese origin has always had a relative presence. The Chinese community in Panama is made up of some 135,000 people, which represents 4% of its 4 million inhabitants."

"China is the largest provider of the Colon Free Zone (CFZ), located on the Caribbean coast of Panama, next to the northern mouth of the Canal. It is the most important free zone in the Americas and the second largest in the world, with an annual volume of imports and re-exports of $16.16 billion. In the first semester of 2017, the FTZ imported $1.344 billion worth of goods from China. Likewise, important Chinese companies have sought to establish themselves in the FTZ taking advantage of the strategic advantages it offers."
