Secretary of State Marco Rubio has delivered a blunt warning to China, declaring US hemisphere sovereignty “non-negotiable.” The warning comes after China detained Panama-flagged ships in a dispute tied to control over key canal ports. The US and regional allies slammed the move as a “blatant attempt to politicise maritime trade” Rubio framed the standoff as a broader test of whether Beijing can exert control over critical shipping lanes.
