Blogger’s Note: The irony is that whilst refuting US allegations – the Chinese media has used US English. The good news is that in this text – this has amounted to only one-word – “fulfill” in stead of “fulfil” – but we cannot have everything! Trump’s fascist advisors are living in cloud, cuckoo land – inventing mythological conflicts here and pretend solutions there! The US has already (illegally) invaded Panama and imprisoned (without trial) its former US-imposed leader. This is what happens when proxy leaders move off-script and start putting their own people first – defying US-demands and ignoring US expectations. Whilst pumping arms and money into Israel and Neo-Nazi Ukraine – the US complains about the conflicts the Zionists and Kyiv-Junta are perpetuating! And around it goes! To oppose America must involve opposing America at every level – including drawing the line at the US misuse of British English! ACW (13.8.2025)

A Chinese envoy refuted the U.S.’s unreasonable accusations against China over the Panama Canal issue during a high-level open debate on maritime security held by the United Nations.
In recent days, the U.S. delegation has repeatedly used various issues at the UN Security Council to make unfounded accusations and smear China, to which China firmly objects, China’s permanent representative to the UN, Fu Cong, said Monday local time.
China has always respected Panama’s sovereignty over the canal and recognizes the Panama Canal’s status as a permanently neutral international waterway. The U.S.’s fabrication of lies and groundless attacks against China are nothing more than an excuse to justify its own bid to control the Panama Canal. China resolutely opposes economic coercion and bullying and urges the U.S. to stop spreading rumors and creating trouble, Fu said.
Fu pointed out that the U.S. is the biggest disruptor of peace and stability in the South China Sea. The U.S. has deployed offensive weapons in the region, including ground-based intermediate-range missiles, and has frequently sent large-scale naval and air forces to the South China Sea for military reconnaissance and exercises.
By flexing its muscles and acting recklessly near other countries’ borders, Washington aims only to stir up trouble in the South China Sea to serve its own geopolitical interests, Fu said.
U.S. hegemony, Cold War mentality and unilateral actions are rapidly heightening global maritime security risks. The U.S. has yet to join the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and refuses to fulfil its related obligations. It disregards international law and warnings from the International Seabed Authority by unilaterally deciding to exploit international seabed resources and seize what is considered the common heritage of humankind, the envoy said.
Moreover, it openly threatens the normal operations of the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, blatantly challenges other countries’ sovereignty, pan-securitizes maritime affairs, obstructs the construction of maritime infrastructure, and undermines the stability of industrial and supply chains. China urges the U.S. to engage in serious self-reflection and genuinely shoulder the responsibilities that a major power should bear, Fu concluded.
