I have heard Chinese troops are at the Panama Canal Zone are they hired as guards for the canal?

It’s ‘pose to be 15,000 and that’s a ton to guard it and why would Panama not do it themselves?
Great answers and thanks. Did not know they would be building another one. Funny about the kilos.

After the US ceded the canal, the operation and maintenance contract went to China. They are also going to construct a 3rd canal that will handle the super tankers as well as US aircraft carriers in the Nimitz class and beyond. Though the US may never send such vessels through in order to make positions unknown. Rememver too that the Chinese use many of these troops for operations and maintenance. 15,000 really isn’t so many. The concern though might be if you knew of the number of tanks, planes, artillery and rockets. Numbers of men are nothing. It is the weapons that count.
