仅剩最后七天的时间，长江和记就要完成和贝莱德集团的港口交易了，其中就包括最受外界关注的两座巴拿马港口。不过就在双方即将交割之际，又有新的 消息传来，这次李嘉诚出售港口一事，或许仍有转机... 虽然这一消息并不意味着大陆将会立刻全面禁止同李嘉诚的合作，但是对李嘉诚的压力无疑再次增加。但是外媒一般认为，大陆的施压对于长江和记的影响 比较有限，因为长江和记仅有12%的收入来自香港和大陆，其主要业务覆盖欧洲，北美以及澳大利亚。 涉及零售，电信，以及公共事业等领域，其实港口行业本身也并非长江和记的主营业务，因此李嘉诚的企业和国企的业务往来本身就不多。但是李嘉诚其长 子李泽钜所负责的房地产部门，长江实业五分之一的长期租赁物业都位于中国大陆，其大部分用于开发的待售房地产项目的土地储备也位于大陆。 3月4日，长江和记宣布将会以228亿美元的价格，向贝莱德集团出售其位于23个国家的43个港口的相关权益，其中包括巴拿马的两座港口，这两座港口恰好 位于巴拿马运河的两端。而这一消息一经公布，立刻就引起了轩然大波。 以《大公报》为首的舆论界，立刻对李嘉诚发起"猛攻"。早在特朗普刚刚就任总统的时候，他就已经对巴拿马运河表现出了浓厚的兴趣 ...
