The US representative at the United Nations said that China's influence in the Panama Canal worries the US and the world.
The Panama Canal is a very important waterway in the world, with many ships passing through to transport goods.
The US previously built and managed the Panama Canal, but now it is managed by Panama.
The US representative said that Chinese companies have built many ports and infrastructure near the Panama Canal, which worries the US about China's impact on global trade and security.
The US is the largest user of the Panama Canal, with many American goods passing through it.
Recently, both Chinese and American companies want to manage the ports near the canal.
The US hopes the Panama Canal can remain safe and neutral, not controlled by any one country.
The President of Panama also said that the Panama Canal belongs to Panama and will remain neutral.
