The United States exposes the plot to dominate the Panama Canal.

On April 3, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maoning, presided over a routine press conference. #China will firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests#. A foreign journalist asked a question, accusing the US Secretary of State of claiming that China had been "harassing and detaining" Panamanian ships after a contract with a Hong Kong company was cancelled. What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' response to this? Maoning stated that the US side's comments were completely fabricated and reversed. The US repeatedly makes unfounded accusations, only exposing its own intention to dominate the canal. "Who is openly disrupting the neutral status of the Panama Canal and destabilizing the global supply chain through unilateral bullying and coercion will be judged by the public opinion! China's position on the relevant port issues in Panama is clear, and will firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests." Maoning said.
