At the Munich Security Conference, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that China seeks a proper way for the two major countries to coexist through dialogue and consultation, but achieving this ultimately depends on the United States. He also accused Japan of harboring 'angry ambitions for the invasion and colonisation of Taiwan'. Wang emphasized that China would continue on this path in the interest of their peoples and in line with international expectations.
At the Munich Security Conference, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi addressed the future of China-US relations. He stated that China seeks to find the right way for the two major countries to get along well through dialogue and consultation, and would continue on this path in the interest “of our own peoples” and in line with the expectations of the international community.
“But whether we can achieve that goal ultimately depends on the United States,” he said.
Wang referenced former US President Donald Trump's views: “He has stressed that the US and China working together can get a lot of great things done, and the two presidents can make the fantastic relationship between the United States and China even better.”
“But I’m not sure whether all people in the United States share this view,” Wang added.
He accused some in the US of “cobbling together all these small, exclusive circles, and they are trying to split Taiwan from China and stepping on China’s red lines, which would very much likely push China and the United States towards conflict”.
Additionally, Wang accused Japan of ‘angry ambitions for the invasion and colonisation of Taiwan’.
The conference context includes calls for global governance reform amid turbulence, with keywords such as Global Governance Initiative, South China Sea, and Global South.
Wang's remarks underscore China's diplomatic stance, emphasizing cooperation over confrontation while placing responsibility on Washington for bilateral stability.
