In response to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's claim that Washington was restricting visas for some of Central American nationals and their immediate family members who engage in cooperation with the Communist Party of China and undermine the rule of law in Central America in order to counter so-called China's corrupt influence in Central America, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday that China strongly deplores and firmly opposes the US' baseless vilification, coercive diplomacy and blatant interference and sabotage against China's relations with Central American countries, Lin said.
the US' inflammatory finger-pointing at Central American countries' exchanges and cooperation with China is entirely groundless and shows the US' complete lack of respect for Central American countries. That once again reflects how the US is accustomed to bullying the "small guys" in international relations, Lin said.
Wielding the visa stick will not intimidate people of vision, nor will it hold back the unstoppable trend of China-Central America relations. China will continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Central American countries, promote local economic and social development, and deliver greater benefits to the people of all nations, the spokesperson added.
