Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a key member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, delivered a stern warning on Friday regarding the dangers of unilateral actions. Meeting with Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Wang stressed that the United States' recent use of tariffs is a clear example of putting narrow, self-serving interests ahead of the worldwide multilateral trading system.
Wang Yi highlighted that such actions contribute significantly to current global turbulence and chaos, emphasizing that history's course cannot be reversed by reckless decisions. He framed these measures as a form of unilateral bullying that risks dragging the international community back into a world where might makes right.
Looking forward to the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, Wang affirmed China’s commitment to upholding an international order built on international law and multilateral cooperation. This pledge underlines the importance of defending not only national rights and interests but also those shared by the global community.
The warning resonates with a diverse, globally connected audience—including young global citizens, business and technology enthusiasts, thought leaders, and digital nomads—reminding them that robust international cooperation remains essential for sustainable progress and peace.
