Bill overview
This House Resolution expresses concern over the growing influence of the People’s Republic of China in Panama, particularly regarding management of key ports like Balboa and Cristobal. It calls on the Panamanian government to reaffirm its commitment to the Panama Canal’s neutrality as defined by the Neutrality Treaty, terminate agreements with Chinese-affiliated entities, and expel Chinese officials. The resolution also urges the U.S. government to leverage treaty provisions, provide support to Panama, and establish a joint task force to ensure canal security and operational control.
