Western media revealed: After the Panamanian government illegally controlled the operating rights of two ports of Yangtze River and Hong Kong, on February 26, Panamanian government officials entered the office of Yangtze River and Hong Kong Panama to conduct an illegal search.
On February 24, the Panama Maritime Authority officially announced: The Panama Maritime Authority has formally taken over the subsidiary of Yangtze River and Hong Kong Panama. This is based on the "Temporary Occupation Ordinance" passed by the Panamanian government, which formally seized the operating control of the two ports in Panama controlled by the Chinese company, and separated the control of the Chinese company.
At the same time, the Panama Maritime Authority has claimed all Chinese port assets, including cranes, dock transportation vehicles and staff vehicles, as well as computer equipment, software for dock handling systems, etc., as its own property.
Now that the Panamanian government has taken away the Chinese control and expelled the Chinese staff, Panamanian government officials have officially entered the office of Yangtze River and Hong Kong's subsidiary for a search and inventory, attempting to take relevant evidence to prove the so-called illegal records of the Chinese investment.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government issued a press statement on February 24, strongly protesting the Panamanian government's forced takeover of the two ports. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region reiterated that the previous ruling by the Panamanian Supreme Court that the two Panama ports operated by the company were unconstitutional was completely disregarding facts and being untrustworthy.
For the Panamanian government's untrustworthy behavior of yielding to the United States and taking action against China, the Chinese side has begun to take actions against Panama, including reviewing coffee and other goods transported from China to Panama, while also calling on Chinese shipping companies to adjust international routes, requiring Chinese enterprises to suspend investments in Panama, including the construction of infrastructure and financial support for the Belt and Road Initiative. Yangtze River and Hong Kong are also appealing to the WTO against Panama's illegal actions to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises!
However, the initial countermeasures by China did not immediately take effect, but with the passage of time, without the participation and support of China, the Panama ports and the Panamanian government will pay a heavy price for their "illegal seizure." At that time, when they cry out wanting to rely on China again, there won't be a good face!
Think about it, what is the current situation of countries that once betrayed China? Please look carefully at the situation of Panama!
