China accused the United States of disrespecting Latin America after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned countries in the region against excessive reliance on economic ties with China. “What the United States said is entirely against the truth and displayed disrespect to the vast number of Latin American countries,” the ministry said. Cooperation between China and Latin American countries is based on equality, reciprocity, openness and inclusiveness, it added. China’s investment in and financial cooperation with Latin American countries are in full accordance with commercial rules and local laws and regulations, it added. “The development of China-Latin America ties does not target or reject any third party, nor does it affect the interests of third parties in Latin America,” the ministry said.
