Donald Trump has denounced what he sees as China 's outsized influence on the Panama Canal .

Trump falsely claimed that Chinese soldiers were “operating” the canal, wishing them a “merry Christmas .

Much of what Trump says on the canal is false, as authorities in the country have been quick to note.

But beyond the political rhetoric, what is the state of Chinese and U.S. influence in Panama ?.

In general, the people we spoke to said views of China were positive in Panama .

Panama has a significant ethnic Chinese Panamanian population.

U.S. officials stationed in Latin America that we interviewed expressed serious concerns regarding the growing influence of Chinese investment in the region.
