BEIJING (Reuters) – The U.S has “no right to interfere” in Chinese cooperation with Germany, the foreign ministry said Thursday, after Washington “strongly suggested” that Beijing would not get a controlling stake in a contested deal regarding Hamburg’s port terminal.

The U.S. interference is symptomatic of its practice of coercive diplomacy, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters at a daily briefing in Beijing.
