Nicaragua cancels $50bn canal project concession to Wang Jing due to environmental risks, community displacement, and financial concerns.
Nicaragua's Congress has cancelled a $50bn canal project concession granted to Chinese businessman Wang Jing, after nearly a decade of debate.
The canal aimed to connect Nicaragua's Atlantic and Pacific coasts, but faced criticism for posing environmental risks, displacing rural communities, and being financially unfeasible.
Despite a 2014 groundbreaking ceremony, no work commenced on the canal, and thousands of Nicaraguan farmers protested against land seizures related to the project.
