[Wang Yi talks about Sino-US relations] Mutual respect is an important prerequisite for Sino-US relations
Mutual respect is the basic norm for exchanges between countries and an important prerequisite for Sino-US relations. No country can imagine suppressing and containing China while developing good relations with China. As the largest developing and developed countries in the world today, China and the United States will continue to exist on this planet for a long time, so they must live in peace.
[Wang Yi talks about the fentanyl issue] The United States should not repay kindness with grievances and increase taxes without reason
When talking about the fentanyl issue, Wang Yi said that as early as 2019, China was the first to list all fentanyl substances in the world at the request of the United States. The abuse of fentanyl in the United States is a problem that the United States itself must face and solve. China has provided various help to the United States in a humanitarian spirit. The United States should not repay kindness with grievances, nor can it increase taxes without reason. This is not the act of a responsible major country.
[Wang Yi talks about tariff issues] Choosing cooperation will benefit mutually beneficial and win-win results. Blindly putting pressure will resolutely counter.
If you fail to do so, look for it within yourself. The United States should review what has gained from the tariff war and trade war over the years, has the trade deficit expanded or narrowed, has the competitiveness of manufacturing increased or decreased, has inflation improved or worsened, has people's lives improved or worsened? China-US economic and trade relations are mutual and equal. If cooperation is chosen, mutual benefit and win-win results can be achieved. If pressure is applied blindly, China will resolutely counter. China and the United States have broad common interests and broad space for cooperation, and can become partners, achieve mutual success and prosper together.
