Nicaraguan legislators in June approved granting Beijing-based telecommunications CEO Wang Jing a concession to build and operate a canal more than three times the length of Panama’s.
Nicaragua’s government says the construction of the nation’s inter-ocean canal will start a year later than planned because the waterway’s path has yet to be defined.
