China criticizes Trump's return to jungle legislation
Beijing - In a recent press conference in Beijing, the top diplomat of China, Wang Yi, expressed clear warnings without naming the United States directly. These statements came in the context of the current geopolitical tensions, reinforced by the policy of US President Donald Trump.
warning of the "right of the stronger"
"There are more than 190 countries in the world," said Wang Yi on Friday, when he reacted to Trump's "America first" policy on a question from CNN. "If everyone insists that their own country is in the first place and a position of strength, the 'right of the stronger' would gain the upper hand again. Smaller and weaker states would be the first to bear the consequences, and international norms and order would be badly damaged," he added.
china as an anchor in stability
Wang, an experienced diplomat and confidante by the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, expressed these thoughts during his eleventh press conference as part of the annual “two sessions” of China. This highly choreographed event often offers Beijing the opportunity to present its position on pressing global topics. In view of the ongoing trade conflicts with Washington and the changes in US foreign policy, Wang was offered a platform to present China as a reliable and stable partner.
reactions to customs measures of the USA
to Trump's decision to double the additional tariffs to Chinese imports, Wang was encouraging: "No country should dream that China can suppress it on the one hand and, on the other hand, develop good relationships with China." He added: "This 'two faces' approach is not only not beneficial for the stability of bilateral relationships, but also not able to create mutual trust."
China's attitude to global challenges
Wang demanded that large countries take their international obligations seriously and perceive their responsibilities. "Self -addicted interests should never be in front of principles, and certainly not you should exercise power to harass the weaker," he emphasized and confirmed that China was "decisive against power policy and hegemony".
global conflicts and the role of China
In the context of the Ukraine War, China uses the uncertainties in US politics to reaffirm its own relationships with Russia. Wang called for reflection on the policy of the Trump administration and found that the focus on Russia has shocked the European allies and thus creates space for Beijing to consolidate its partner relationships.
"European friends should think about how the political decisions of the Trump administration are compared to the Chinese government's policy approaches," Wang emphasized during his 90-minute press conference. He also commented on the role of China in the peace efforts in Ukraine and emphasized that Beijing took an "objective and impartial" attitude towards the conflict and supported all peace efforts.
