On June 9, the China Public Diplomacy Association held the “Linjia No. 7” salon event and invited Zhang Run, director of the Latin America Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to give a lecture on China's situation and Sino-Latin American relations. Zhang Run said that for some time now, individual countries have frequently spread misconceptions and slandered Sino-Latin American cooperation. Individuals have also blatantly threatened Latin American and Caribbean countries to stand on the sidelines and stir up noise against China's influence in the Western Hemisphere. This is bound not to succeed. Cooperation between China and Latin America is a form of South-South cooperation. It respects Latin America's wishes, meets Latin America's needs, and provides reliable choices and bright prospects for Latin America's development and revitalization. China and Latin America only support each other and the sincerity of working together; there is no “zero-sum game, winner-take-all” geographical calculation. Stigmatizing others doesn't make you popular. The Pacific Ocean is large enough not to be shaken by any wind or waves, and can accommodate all sides along the coast.
