In a recent discussion, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted a positive shift in Sino-U.S. relations following the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden last year. Wang Yi noted that there has been \"some improvement\" in ties between the two nations. However, he also emphasized that misconceptions about China persist in Washington, as certain promises made during the summit remain unfulfilled.
Addressing global hotspots, Wang Yi outlined China's approach to navigating crises such as the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts. He stressed the importance of fostering dialogue and promoting peace, asserting that China aims to play a constructive role in mitigating tensions and supporting conflict resolution worldwide.
Wang Yi also announced the extension of visa-free travel privileges to more European countries, a move intended to facilitate greater cultural and economic exchange. This initiative is seen as part of China's broader strategy to enhance international cooperation and strengthen its global presence.
To provide further insights, experts like Einar Tangen from the Taihe Institute and Jorge Heine, former Chilean ambassador to China, participated in the discussion. They, along with Zhou Bo from Tsinghua University's Center for International Security and Strategy and Prof. Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, shared their perspectives on China's strategies to handle U.S. containment efforts and its vision for fostering a peaceful international environment.
As global dynamics continue to evolve, China's commitment to promoting stability and cooperation remains a focal point in its foreign policy, aiming to contribute positively to a conflict-ridden world.
