Beijing not happy with the Panama ports sell
‘A betrayal’: Beijing office on Hong Kong runs scathing attack on Hutchison’s Panama deal
Conglomerate under fire over bombshell announcement it is selling Panama Canal port operations in deal led by US firm BlackRock
How do they explain though that the sale was worked on months before Biden even left power?
These types of public funded newspapers oftentimes don't have the full picture, just like you know how on for example BBC you can often find editorials that deviate from the official government line.
This isnt a government statement, more like a journalist smelling blood and having the chance to shine a spotlight on something China could potentially interfere America on. I think the initiative is commendable, and shows that many everyday people in China have matured to taking the US threat seriously. It is a good mindset that America should not be able to buy anything except that which seriously favors China in every way, every deal that doesn't conform to that formula should be annulled. They are a foreign adversary and must be treated like it always.
And even though this is something that's has been around for awhile, there is a chance to break up the deal and/or stiff Blackrock which would serve as more economical sanction to weaken US.
