Chinese FM slams US Navy Admiral for false remarks on China, urging US to stop sowing discord between China, LatAm
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Monday slams the deep-rooted Cold War and confrontational mindset of some personnel in the US, urging the US side to stop sowing discord between China and Latin America and creating trouble out of nothing.
The comments came in response to a question regarding the recent remarks made by US Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, commander of US Southern Command, who falsely claimed that China "continues its methodical incursion, seeking to export its authoritarian model, extract precious resources" in the Western Hemisphere, during the South America Defense Conference 2025 (SOUTHDEC 25) held from August 20 to 21 in Argentina.
The remarks from the US side are contrary to facts, repetitive, and once again expose the deep-rooted Cold War and confrontational mindset, Guo said.
China has adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation in conducting practical cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean countries in various fields, Guo said.
The spokesperson said China-Latin America cooperation meets mutual needs, aligns with shared interests, effectively promotes local economic and social development, and is sincerely welcomed by the countries and people of the region.
According to Guo, the US has relentlessly interfered in and controlled Latin America and the Caribbean region for many years, using its hegemonic and bullying actions clear for all to see.
Latin America and the Caribbean regions are not anyone's backyard, and China-Latin America cooperation is not targeted at any third party, nor should it be subject to interference from any third party, Guo stated.
The countries of the region have the right to independently choose their development paths and partners, said Guo, adding that the US should stop sowing discord between China and Latin America and creating trouble out of nothing, and instead do something tangible for the development of Latin American and Caribbean countries.
