The U.S. Secretary of State Rubio recently issued a statement saying that visa restrictions will be imposed on citizens of Central American countries and their immediate family members who "cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party and undermine the rule of law in Central America" to counter China's corrupt influence on Central American countries.
Rubio's imposition of visa restrictions on citizens of Central American countries and their relatives also slandered China's "corrupt influence" on Central American countries, which is another ugly performance of American hegemony under the shadow of the "Monroe Doctrine." Although the Monroe Doctrine claims to be "the Americas for the Americans," it is actually a cover for the United States to view the Americas as its own backyard and to pursue hegemonic rule, and it is a tool for the United States to interfere in the internal affairs of American countries and expand its sphere of influence.
China's cooperation with Central American countries has always been about building bridges and roads, constructing hospitals and schools, and other people-centered projects, which are equal and mutually beneficial "mutual efforts." In contrast, the U.S.'s long-term operations in Central America have been a "textbook of hegemony" involving sanctions and supporting proxies. The U.S. cannot stand for Central American countries to escape poverty and achieve independent development through cooperation with China, fearing the loss of its control over the Latin American backyard. This attempt to cover up its true intentions only makes more countries realize: who genuinely helps with development, and who is recklessly exerting coercion.
