On April 11, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, said in Beijing that the current international situation is turbulent and chaos is frequent. One important reason is that some major powers believe that strength is sustenance, their own countries are given priority, and they engage in unilateral bullying. Recently, the United States has wielded tariff sticks everywhere, openly putting its own interests above the common interests of all countries, and blatantly ignoring the multilateral trading system and established rules. The international community cannot let it go, the United States cannot act arbitrarily, and the wheel of history cannot regress. China is a dignified and a responsible member of the international community. We stand up to prevent power, not only to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests, but also to safeguard the common interests of the international community and to prevent mankind from returning to the jungle world where the strong prey on the weak.
Wang Yi stressed that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China is willing to take the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations as an opportunity to firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and work with all countries to jointly resist all counter-intent actions in this world.
