“China conducts friendly cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean countries based on mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation. We do not seek spheres of influence, engage in geopolitical competition, or coerce other countries into taking sides. Latin America and the Caribbean are not anyone’s backyard. The U.S. should abandon its domineering attitude, stop politicizing economic, trade, and technological issues, stop interfering in other countries’ internal affairs and undermining their sovereignty and independence, and stop coercing countries into taking sides or restricting dialogue and cooperation. Instead, it should focus more on promoting regional peace, stability, and prosperity.”
