The Chinese Embassy in Argentina issued a strong rebuke against US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent for his statements during his visit to Buenos Aires, accusing him of “maliciously slandering” China by labeling its bilateral swap agreement with Argentina as “rapacious” and debt-heavy. “We advise the United States to adjust its mentality instead of wasting time repeatedly defaming and attacking China and interfering in the foreign cooperation of countries in the region,” the embassy stated in a document.
