Chinese companies have established port networks around the world? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded

On August 13, 2025, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian answered a reporter's question. According to a reporter's question, it is reported that US officials and analysts say that Chinese companies have established a network of ports around the world to control global trade, engage in espionage activities, and facilitate the Chinese military to carry out ocean-going missions. What is China's response to this? Lin Jian: Such remarks are purely "selling anxiety". I hope the US side will stop generalizing the concept of security, stop hyping the so-called "China threat", and stop smearing and interfering with China's normal foreign economic and trade cooperation.
