China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for peaceful coexistence between China and the United States, highlighting the importance of mutual respect in maintaining strong bilateral relations. 🌐🤝
During his speech on Friday, Wang emphasized that both nations will coexist on this planet for a long time, making it essential to seek harmony rather than conflict. He criticized the U.S. decision to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods, especially using the fentanyl issue as a pretext. 🚫📈
Wang stressed that the problem of fentanyl abuse in the United States should be addressed internally, without targeting China. He warned against attempts to suppress China while maintaining good relations, asserting that such contradictions are unfeasible.
Highlighting the benefits of cooperation, Wang pointed out that China-U.S. business relations thrive on reciprocal interactions, leading to mutual gains and win-win outcomes. He also assured that China would respond to any arbitrary pressure with appropriate countermeasures.
Affirming China's stance against power politics and hegemony, Wang declared, "We in China believe that friends should be permanent and we should pursue common interests."
