The Chinese government held a meeting with top Bolivian diplomats this week. The impact of his first international tour, which has been positioned as a country vulnerable to Chinese people, as part of a campaign to undo the damage to reputation and interest in Latin America caused by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

China's Communist Party has made great strides in diplomacy with Latin America, where former President Joe Biden was in power for four years, shocking the region's support for Taiwan. Road Initiative (BRI), China's global debt trap program for poor countries. In Panama, President Donald Trump sent Rubio to the country as his first international stop as Secretary of State, prioritizing removing China's influence near the US-built Panama Canal.
Trump followed Rubio's trip this week with a visit from US Southern Commander (Southcom) Commander Alvin Holsey. China's Foreign Ministry insisted in a statement Wednesday that it didn't play a role in the country, despite evidence that it allegedly generated by Washington as a growing attention to the country paid for and that it had been compiled by Trump.
“China has never participated in the management or operation of the Panama Canal, nor has it intervened in the canal issue. In a statement on Wednesday, the Chinese embassy in Panama said that “China controls the canal.” It's just a pure lie.” “On the contrary, it was precisely the United States that threatened again and again to “recover” the canal. ”
“The US maneuvering to hamper China-Panamanian relations is destined to fail and not find support,” the embassy ominously added.
Panama's stop in Panama in early February was extremely fruitful for the United States. Panama was the first Latin American country to participate in a programme that was said to have been established to rebuild the ancient Silk Road from China to Western Europe, and is a major loss to China. Conservative Panama President Jose Raul Murino has already tended to limit ties with China, but Rubio's support show ended the BRI with minimal negative political influence at home It is likely that he has improved his ability to do so.

They are experiencing considerable confusion as they struggle to maintain control. Mass party returns to power. Morales is currently facing criminal pedophilia accusations and barricades himself in his political base, but he still claims to become president again.
Both Arce and Morales are enthusiastic supporters of closer economic ties with China. Beijing is interested in Bolivia due to its high-tech development mineral keys, particularly lithium, the mineral key for batteries in cell phones, laptops and other vehicles. Local newspapers, Elle DoverThis month, the ARCE government reported that it had much debt to Chinese and Russian businesses by cutting back on transactions to build lithium processing plants. Estimates suggest that Bolivia will now have to pay $2 billion and interest to China and Russian countries. The report urged widespread protests across the country.
The king did not dig into the lithium issue during this week's visit, but instead, contrary to warnings from the US, China said, “Reliable“partner.
“Latin America is the home of the Latin American people, not the “backyard” of the country,” the king declared. “China supports Latin American countries that defend sovereignty, independence and national dignity.”
“China is willing to work with Latin America and the Caribbean countries, including Bolivia, to discuss the development plans for China-Latin America cooperation over the next decade, in preparation for this year's meeting.” guarantee.
China's national media outlet Global Times This week, he dedicated much of its compensation to attacking the US in an attempt to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with foreign countries.

The era It launched an editorial campaign to disgrace the United States International Development Organization (USAID), an agency that was largely dismantled by Beijing's ally Elon Musk. Rather than complaining that USAID is too expensive for American taxpayers, Global Times I'm grieving The institution “used foreign aid for over half a century to implement ideological infiltration and so-called “democratic reform.” ”
“USAID is the leading US foreign aid agency, but in particular, the “humanitarian aid” or “development aid” they claim to provide is primarily accompanied by political assumptions consistent with American values.” The outlet lamented. “USAID has published its policy in this regard, requiring recipient countries to use aid for private enterprise development rather than public investment.”
