CHINA TO U.S TREASURY SEC: KEEP OUR NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
Beijing fired back at U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he slammed China’s investments in Latin America as “rapacious aid” and “debt traps.”
What Happened:
• Bessent warned Latin American countries about China’s growing influence, calling their deals dangerous for long-term stability.
• China’s Embassy in Argentina responded furiously, accusing the U.S. of “malicious slander” and telling Washington to focus on its own problems.
China’s Message to the U.S.:
“Stop whining because we’re making friends in your backyard better than you are.”
This marks another heated flashpoint in the U.S.-China rivalry, now expanding far beyond Asia into Latin America’s future.
