Thank you for clarifying / confirming the 38,000 number....wildly outrageous. Reminds me of another wildly outrageous "numbers claim." I made inquiry about the 38,000 tally in another comment's section and received no response/reply/acknowledgement - thank you big time for the follow up. Motivated me to make another contribution to the cause :) I too love books, especially old books. You must have a very large duffle bag to carry those books with you on your international treks! God Bless.
I listened very carefully during the address to the Joint Session, and he said "38,000 workers". No adjective like "American", or "Chinese" or any other nationality (nor "male" or "female" for that matter - just "workers"). If you were expecting/wanting to hear "38,000 American workers" you could have heard it, but if you play the tape, it isn't there.
JBS "Even if you add up the French periods death toll with the American period it only comes to around 29,000. Trump got his numbers from a CCP historian. They always inflate the death toll when it suits them."
". . . They always inflate the death toll when it suits them."
Not - hardly - unique to CCP (look no further than Ukraine, for example). I wouldn't argue with your figures; the material fact is that the project was costly - both in terms of physical and human resources (the US Transcontinental Railroad was another engineering feat heavy in human-life cost).
You have been consistent (and I absolutely agree) that it's of critical importance as one of the world's strategic choke-points. Seems to me you and Trump are much on the same page as regarding the Canal as a strategic asset we can't ignore.
Years ago, when Trump made the pyramid sign waiting to speak to the WEF, it made me wonder.
China wants California.

I seem to remember you being a Weight Lifter in High School, and IIRC at a Gym in Auburndale.
