Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Minister: "A Strategic Framework for China-US Relations Must Be Established... We Seek Constructive Exchanges"

[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sunhee] Wang Yi, China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister in charge of diplomacy, said on the 11th, "We must create a strategic framework for the healthy and stable development of China-US relations," adding, "China wants to engage in deep and constructive exchanges with the United States at all levels and in all areas." This expressed a willingness to "resume dialogue" ahead of the inauguration of the new US administration under Joe Biden. At the same time, he addressed the Trump administration, which has maintained a pressure policy against China until the last moment, saying, "The regression of anti-China forces within the United States must end."

According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 11th, State Councilor Wang delivered a keynote speech at the forum themed "International Situation and Chinese Diplomacy in 2020," stating, "This year, US-China relations faced the most serious phase in over 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties."

Wang criticized the United States for pushing 'unilateralism' and threatening the international system, saying, "They resorted to any means to slander China and impose unreasonable sanctions, provoking an 'ideological confrontation' and attempting to plunge the world into the abyss of a 'new Cold War'." He warned that such US behavior threatens world peace and security.
