In a world craving cooperation over conflict, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized that China and the U.S. should be partners, not rivals 🤝. Speaking in New York on Wednesday, Wang highlighted the essential lesson from the China-U.S. relationship: collaboration is key to tackling global challenges 🌍.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met with prominent U.S. organizations including the National Committee on United States-China Relations, the U.S.-China Business Council, and others on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York 🗽.
\"China's development is an opportunity, not a challenge, for the United States and the world,\" Wang stated. He urged the U.S. to recognize China's right to develop and stressed that the two nations, as permanent members of the UN Security Council and the world's two largest economies, bear a shared responsibility 🤲.
Wang expressed hope that the U.S. would adopt an objective and rational understanding of China to enhance mutual trust and understanding 💡. He called for stable, healthy, and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations to work together with the international community in addressing global issues such as climate change, pandemics, and economic recovery 🌐.
