Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi fired up the global stage at a recent BRICS meeting in Brazil, challenging the U.S. use of its "tariff stick". With clear resolve, he posed five bold questions to the international community, urging everyone to rethink today’s trading rules.
Wang Yi asked, "Shall we allow the world to regress into a lawless jungle where might makes right? Shall we accept that one country's self-interest may override the collective good? Shall we stand idle as international rules are trampled and discarded? Will any nation truly protect its own interests through compromise? Shall we submit to a unipolar hegemony or forge a multipolar world built on equality and order?"
His words struck a chord as he stressed that history admits no regression and that justice lies in the heart of people. He emphasized that if these tariffs are imposed, China will stand its ground, but any negotiation must be based on equality and respect.
This fiery address reminds us that global trade is not just about economics—it’s about creating a level playing field where every nation can thrive. 🔥🌍
Wang Yi’s call for a multipolar world built on fairness and mutual respect challenges all of us to imagine a future where international cooperation is the norm, and where justice leads the way.
