China firmly opposes certain U.S. politicians' finger-pointing at the normal interactions between China and Central American countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday.
Guo made the statement at a press conference in Beijing in response to a media query that the United States has significantly increased its engagement in the Western Hemisphere since the release of its National Security Strategy in December 2025.
"China firmly opposes certain U.S. politicians pointing fingers at normal interactions between Central American countries and China. The relevant remarks are just fallacies that devoid of any truth, reflecting only their own ideological bias and Cold War mentality. China has always adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, openness and inclusiveness, and all-win cooperation in carrying out friendly cooperation with Central American countries, bringing tangible benefits to the local people, which has been well received by the relevant countries," Guo said.
"We urge the U.S. politicians to stop manipulating issues on China and choose the course of action that is conducive to the region's development and prosperity," said the spokesman.

As China's stock market continues to rebound, international investors are increasingly recognizing the country's high-quality development prospects, announcing plans to maintain an overweight allocation to Chinese assets in 2026 and step up long-term investment, citing confidence in their innovation and sustained growth.
Global investors are shifting their focus from short-term valuation gains to the long-term growth potential of Chinese assets, as corporate transformation and industrial upgrading accelerate. The steady improvement in corporate fundamentals has become the core driver underpinning foreign investors' bullish outlook.
"In the past, markets mainly focused on relative valuation attractiveness. Now, more and more companies are proving themselves through earnings performance and cash flow. We see continuous improvements in Chinese firms' capabilities in research and development investment, product iteration, and global expansion. Innovation is no longer just about scaling up, but increasingly about efficiency and quality," said Wen Tianna, President of Hong Kong Boda Capital International.
The sustained innovation capacity of Chinese enterprises, coupled with targeted governmental policies, is further amplifying the global appeal of Chinese assets.
"For global investors, Chinese assets offer both high-quality earnings growth and strong macro policy support, making them a core component of global asset allocation," said Wang Xinjie, Chief Investment Strategist of Standard Chartered China Wealth Solutions Department.
Looking ahead to 2026, investment in the AI industrial chain has emerged as a broad consensus. Meanwhile, sectors such as new consumption are also becoming focal points, drawing increasing global attention to opportunities in China.
"Recently, our UBS Greater China Conference in Shanghai attracted more than 3,600 participants. Notably, the number of investors from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa rose by 32 percent year on year. The surge in Chinese innovation is creating valuable opportunities for global investors to position for high-quality growth," said Xu Bin, Head of Research from UBS Securities.
