CK Hutchison, Hong Kong’s mega-conglomerate, is suing Panama for over $1.5 billion, claiming the country illegally seized two critical canal ports—Balboa and Cristobal—after revoking their operating contract. The dispute, rooted in a constitutional challenge by Panama, has escalated into a geopolitical flashpoint amid U.S.-China tensions over canal control. CK Hutchison, backed by Li Ka-shing’s family fortune, frames this as a “state attack campaign” against its treaty rights, launching fresh arbitration proceedings separate from earlier claims. With legal battles also involving Maersk, this high-stakes showdown shows no sign of cooling down.
