On April 3, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference.

In response to the inappropriate remarks made by the United States on the port issue in Panama, Mao Ning pointed out that the relevant remarks by the United States are completely fabricated and confuse right and wrong. The United States has repeatedly made irresponsible remarks, which can only expose its own plot to occupy the canal. Who has blatantly undermined the neutral status of the Panama Canal and undermined the stability of the global supply chain through unilateral bullying and coercion? There is no question of justice. China's position on Panama's port issues is clear and it will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
