Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 3 (Reporter Wan Qianyi and Zhu Chao). In response to U.S. Secretary of State’s recent accusations that China “harassed” and “detained” Panamanian-flagged vessels, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on April 3 that the U.S. side’s remarks were entirely baseless and served to distort the facts. The U.S. side has repeatedly made various allegations and accusations; this can only expose its scheme to seize control of the canal. Ultimately, who is publicly undermining the neutrality of the Panama Canal and disrupting the stability of the global supply chain through unilateral bullying and coercion? People’s hearts judge what is right. China’s position on the relevant issues concerning ports in Panama is clear, and it will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. (End)
