Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a routine briefing on the 25th
that since 2026 multiple collisions involving Panama‑flagged vessels in Chinese
waters have resulted in deaths and missing persons. He said Chinese authorities
have strict conducted port‑state inspections of ships calling at Chinese ports
in accordance with law and regulations, in line with international conventions,
and not aimed at any specific country or ship flag. For case‑specific details,
consult the competent authorities.
