https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-says-its-seriously-dissatisfied-with-monument-demolition-panama-2025-12-29/>Be Panama>Destroy your own monument in your own country>China demands an investigation!I thought the reason we were always told to chose China was because they didn't intervene in the domestic affairs of other countries; yet demanding an investigation over a destroyed monument in a local municipality sounds *exactly* like intervening in domestic affairs...
This shit makes China look weak lmao
Never liked the thing to be honest. Hopefully they make something bigger and turn the area into some sort of look-out park not just a small look out as it was.
The mayor just up and destroying it in the middle of a Saturday night with apparently no input or oversight was the problem. Not unlike just up and destroying part of the White House.

So if it is just some mayor violating a municipal ordinance, why is China getting involved?>>524602860The article on South China Morning Post says the monument was "beloved" and "popular" with locals. Is this true?
>>524603626>Yes it is a problem--Panama's internal, domestic problem! So if it is just some mayor violating a municipal ordinance, why is China getting involved?The Chinese community paid for it and the Chinese embassy also offered to pay for the renovation of the monument, but the mayor didnt listen and jut did whatever she wanted as she tends to do. Still the best mayor Arraijan has had in decades kek.>The article on South China Morning Post says the monument was "beloved" and "popular" with locals. Is this true?Well yes, in general. But the previous monument was also beloved and popular and it was also tore down and replaced with the chinese one. Mind you the chinese monument is relatively new. Its from 2004 (altough I kind of heard it fully opened on 2007? Dont remember)
>>524603626>Ignoring the law to be hostile to [group] is not the concern of [group]
>>524602266Why does China want a monument to the exploited slaves of the Qing Empire anyway? I thought they were supposed to be Marxist but they seemed to lost 20 IQ points and now have the same narrow racialist focus that kills every other empire
>>524604063>>Ignoring the law to be hostile to [group] is not the concern of [group]Ethnic Chinese labourers from the late 19th century to the 1900s has literally nothing to do with the People's Republic of China. What is the connection?
