China On Panama

China on Tuesday said its President Xi Jinping's visit to Panama was a step forward to improve bilateral ties and turn the Latin American country into Beijing''s gateway to Central America.

Authorities across the globe have opened investigations into the activities of the world's rich and powerful after a cache of leaked documents from a Panamanian law firm showed possible wrongdoing using offshore company structures.

The Panama Papers, a massive report that claims to document shady business dealings by a who's who of the global elite, landed in China on a national holiday, presenting the authorities with an interesting, probably vexing, question: How to scrub the web of the juicy-but-as-yet-unconfirmed charges against politically connected Chinese?
