The Nicaragua Canal

Will people in the late 21st century speak of the Nicaragua Canal as we speak of the Panama Canal? Nicaragua and China have just signed an agreement allowing the construction of a new inter-oceanic canal in Nicaragua, connecting China with the Caribbean and its Atlantic-American trade partners. Ships will be able to bypass the congested Panama Canal. 

The canal would also establish China as a major player in Central and South America.
