Not a bit lenient with the United States' problems! Our Foreign Ministry has explicitly warned the U.S. On June 16th, according to reports by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, after the U.S. forcibly required Panama to dismantle Huawei telecommunications equipment, we issued a stern warning to the U.S. Our Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the U.S. has long been engaged in eavesdropping and surveillance in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as cyberattacks, bringing adverse effects to the Western Hemisphere.

Latin America and the Caribbean are not anyone's backyard; the U.S. should put away its domineering attitude. Stop politicizing economic and trade technology issues, stop interfering in other countries' internal affairs, infringing on the sovereignty of others, stop coercing other countries to take sides, and restrict dialogue and cooperation. It is evident that in response to the U.S.' bullying behavior towards Panama, we have been very direct in criticizing the U.S.

There is no doubt that this is a typical case of the U.S. treating Latin America as its own backyard, thus unable to tolerate cooperation between China and regional countries. It attempts to force regional countries to take sides through brute force, at the cost of damaging China's interests. However, the U.S. is mistaken. The fact proves that we will not indulge such U.S. practices.

In the past, when the U.S. sought its own interests, it still cared about basic decency. But now, its actions are becoming increasingly blatant, and its behavior is looking more and more unseemly. Regional countries will likely become increasingly aware that, under the U.S.' increasing disregard for basic rules and international morality, cooperation with China will inevitably become the choice. From adhering to rules to maintaining basic decency, to disregarding appearance, the image of the U.S. is deteriorating day by day, which is indeed symptomatic of an empire in decline.
