<p>巴拿马运河正处于美国与中国之间的激烈争端中心，中国指责华盛顿施压巴拿马，迫使其将一家香港公司驱逐出两个运河港口特许权（马丁·贝尔内蒂）</p>
<p>巴拿马总统何塞·劳尔·穆利诺周三拒绝了中国威胁要让这个中美洲国家付出 “沉重代价” 的说法，此前一家香港公司被驱逐出巴拿马运河的两个港口。</p>
<p>穆利诺在 X 上发文 “强烈” 拒绝了来自负责半自治香港事务的北京办公室的威胁，此前巴拿马最高法院宣布无效 CK Hutchison 的港口特许权。</p>
<p>美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对巴拿马施加压力，威胁要收回美国建造的水道，理由是他声称中国对运河的影响过大。</p>
<p>上周，巴拿马最高法院裁定该特许权 “违宪”，并发现其 “对该公司的偏见不成比例”，没有 “任何理由”，并对 “国家财政造成损害”。</p>
<p>美国对此裁决表示欢迎，但中国对此反应愤怒。</p>
<p>据彭博社报道，中国香港和澳门事务办公室在其微信账号上指责巴拿马屈服于外部压力。</p>
<p>“巴拿马当局必须认识到形势并纠正其方向，” 该办公室被引用说。</p>
<p>“坚持这一错误的道路将导致政治和经济上的沉重代价，” 它补充道。</p>
<p>穆利诺谴责了这一威胁，坚称巴拿马是一个维护法治的国家，“尊重独立于中央政府的司法决定。”</p>
<p>他补充说，外交部将就此事发表声明，“并采取相应的决定。”</p>
<p>巴拿马运河连接大西洋和太平洋，处理约 40% 的美国集装箱运输。</p>
<p>- '冷战思维' -</p>
<p>自 1997 年以来，Hutchison 管理着位于运河大西洋一侧的克里斯托瓦尔港和太平洋一侧的巴尔博亚港。</p>
<p>该特许权反映了中国公司在巴拿马经济中日益增长的影响力，2021 年延长了 25 年。</p>
<p>在特朗普去年威胁要夺取运河后，巴拿马独立审计长审查了 Hutchison 的合同，并随后建议取消该合同。</p>
<p>最高法院支持审计长的观点，认为特许权的条款与巴拿马的利益相悖。</p>
<p>在裁决后，巴拿马政府委托丹麦公司马士基暂时接管港口终端的管理，直到新的特许权被授予。</p>
<p>Hutchison 的港口特许权已成为美国与中国在拉丁美洲争夺影响力和贸易的象征。</p>
<p>中国外交部发言人林剑周三重申，中国将 “坚决维护中国公司的合法权益”。</p>
<p>他指责美国有 “冷战思维和意识形态偏见”，并表示：“世界上谁在试图强行拥有巴拿马运河，并以法治的名义侵蚀国际法，显而易见。”</p>
<p>最高法院的裁决是在 Hutchison 出售港口的努力停滞之际作出的。</p>
<p>在三月，它宣布计划将其在巴拿马终端的股份转让给由美国公司黑石集团领导的一组公司，交易总值为 228 亿美元。</p>
<p>该交易最初在华盛顿被视为有利，但在中国警告该协议可能损害其全球利益并敦促各方谨慎行事或面临法律后果后，兴趣降温。</p>

长和(ADR)

<p>巴拿马总统何塞·劳尔·穆利诺拒绝了中国对巴拿马因驱逐一家香港公司而面临 “沉重代价” 的威胁。这一事件发生在巴拿马最高法院宣布无效长和（ADR）的港口特许权之后，美国对此表示支持。中国指责巴拿马屈服于美国的压力，并警告可能会带来政治和经济后果。穆利诺强调巴拿马对法治的承诺，并宣布外交部将作出回应。这场争端突显了美国与中国在拉丁美洲影响力方面的持续紧张关系</p>
