China News Service, Beijing, January 2 "At present, Sino-US relations have come to a new crossroads, and it is expected to open a new window of hope. I hope that the new US government will regain its rationality, reopen dialogue, and the relations between the two countries will be back on track. , Restart cooperation."
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently accepted a joint interview with Chinese state media on the international situation and diplomatic work in 2020, and made the above remarks when talking about Sino-US relations.
Wang Yi said that in recent years, Sino-U.S. relations have fallen into an unprecedented predicament. The fundamental reason lies in the serious deviation in the perception of China by those in power in the United States. policy.
Facts have proved that the US's comprehensive suppression and containment of China and its attempt to provoke a new "Cold War" not only seriously harmed the interests of the two peoples, but also brought great harm to the world. It is doomed to be unpopular and doomed to failure.
Wang Yi pointed out that as far as China is concerned, our US policy maintains continuity and stability, and we are willing to develop Sino-US relations with the United States based on coordination, cooperation, and stability.
China has never interfered in the internal affairs of the United States and is willing to live in peace with the United States and cooperate for a win-win situation.
Similarly, the United States should respect the social system and development path chosen by the Chinese people, and respect the legitimate rights of the Chinese people to pursue a better life.
"We know that some people in the United States are anxious about China's rapid development, but the most sustainable way to lead is to continuously improve themselves, not to block the development of other countries." Wang Yi said that the future world should not and cannot change China. To become the United States, but the United States should make itself a better America, and China will surely become a better China.
We believe that as long as the United States learns lessons in time and truly meets China halfway, China and the United States can resolve conflicts and differences through dialogue, expand common interests through cooperation, find a model of coexistence between major powers that is beneficial to both countries and the world, and develop a model that conforms to history. The development prospects of the way forward.
Talking about China-EU relations, Wang Yi said that 2020 marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU.
China-EU relations have experienced international turbulence, maintaining the dominant aspect of dialogue and cooperation on the whole, maintaining the main tone of mutual benefit and win-win, and demonstrating the vitality of advancing with the times.
The most important experience accumulated by both parties is to persist in peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation.
The most important conclusion drawn is that China-EU cooperation is far greater than competition, and consensus far exceeds differences.
The two parties are comprehensive strategic partners, not institutional opponents.
The most important mission undertaken by both parties is to cooperate to meet global challenges, jointly promote world multi-polarization, economic globalization, and democratization of international relations, so as to provide more stability and certainty to a turbulent and changing world.
Wang Yi pointed out that in 2020, China-EU relations will go against the trend in the epidemic.
China has become the EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement and decided to establish two high-level dialogue mechanisms in the environmental, climate and digital fields, and jointly build a China-EU green cooperation and digital partnership.
President Xi Jinping and European leaders jointly announced the completion of China-EU investment agreement negotiations, which injected new strong impetus into China-EU cooperation and brought major benefits to the sluggish world economy.
This shows that as long as the two sides understand each other, understand each other, and negotiate on an equal footing, China-EU cooperation can show broader prospects.
Wang Yi said that in the face of a turbulent and changing world, China is willing to support the European integration process as always, support the EU's enhancement of strategic autonomy, and support the EU's greater role in international affairs.
The multilateralism jointly advocated by China and the EU should be committed to the unity and cooperation of countries, rather than serving group politics; it should transcend the differences of different systems, rather than draw lines by ideology.
We are willing to strengthen coordination with the European side to ensure that China-EU relations develop in the right direction.
