China has fired back at new U.S. visa restrictions targeting Central American nations collaborating with Beijing, calling the move “bullying tactics” that won’t derail growing partnerships. 🔥 The sharp response comes as geopolitical tensions simmer in the Americas.
🗣️ “Sober-Minded Won’t Be Scared”
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun accused the U.S. of using “domestic laws as weapons” to pressure countries through “political suppression and economic coercion.” He emphasized that China-Central America cooperation “flourishes through mutual respect” – no visa policies required. 💼
🌎 Clash of Principles
The spokesperson highlighted three key U.S. missteps according to Beijing:
1. Prioritizing American laws over international rules 🌐
2. Violating sovereignty through interference 🚫
3. Disrupting global order with unilateral actions ⚖️
🤝 Building a Shared Future
Despite the friction, China vows to keep working with Central American partners on development projects and creating what it calls a “community with a shared future” across Latin America. The message? Visa drama won’t stop the collab. 🚀
