US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to retake control of the Panama Canal as he accused Panama of charging excessive fees and said that he will not allow operations to fall into the wrong hands, according to foreign reports.

Mao Ning, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, noted that the canal tolls are not arbitrarily decided and that the canal is not under the direct or indirect control of any major power. China will continue to respect Panama's sovereignty over the canal and recognize the canal as a permanently neutral international waterway.
