Show Notes
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accuses China of bullying tactics, detaining Panama-flagged ships after Panama took control of key ports from a Hong Kong company. Ninety-two out of one hundred twenty-four ships held for inspection in Chinese ports flew the Panama flag in March, a significant increase from earlier months. Panamas foreign minister views these holds as normal port checks, but critics argue they are punitive and could harm Panamas ship registry, which brings in about one hundred million dollars a year. The U.S. is backing Panama against any pushback as tensions rise over Chinas growing footprint in Latin America.
