On June 23, 2026, at an OAS dialogue in Panama, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. and OAS observer Xie Feng rejected Panama's allegations that China improperly carried out port-state inspections on arriving ships. Xie said the charges were false, citing multiple collisions since 2026 involving Panama-flagged vessels in Chinese waters that caused deaths and missing persons.
