CHINA-US: CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER CONVEYS FIVE POINTS FOR IMPROVING TIES TO US COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi communicated with the US Council on Foreign Relations via video link on April 23. Global Times (April 24) reported Wang Yi as saying that though the two heads of state had mapped out the general direction to develop ties between the two countries, however, the US policy toward China has not yet overcome its misunderstanding of China, and the US has not found the right path to deal with China. He put forward five suggestions to the United States on how to view the China-US relations from a strategic perspective. First, the United States should understand and view China's development objectively and rationally. Second, the United States should work with China on a new path of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. Third, the United States should respect and tolerate the path and system that China has independently chosen. Fourth, the United States should practice multilateralism in real sense. Fifth, the United States should not interfere in China's internal affairs. Citing Chinese wisdom, Wang Yi concluded with the observation that "a country practicing hegemonism is doomed to fail," rather than "a country will definitely seek hegemony when growing stronger".
