China News Service, Beijing, May 18. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated his position on the negative movements of Japan and the United States in China during a video meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng on the 18th.
Wang Yi pointed out that the Japanese side will soon host the summit of the "Quadrilateral Mechanism" between the United States, Japan, India and Australia.
What is of concern and vigilance is that the so-called Japan-US joint effort to confront China has been rampant before the U.S. leader has made the trip.
Japan and the United States are allies, and China and Japan have concluded a treaty of peace and friendship.
Japan-US bilateral cooperation should not provoke camp confrontation, let alone harm China's sovereignty, security and development interests.
It is hoped that the Japanese side will learn from the lessons of history, focus on regional peace and stability, and must act cautiously, not to draw chestnuts from the fire of others, and not to take the wrong path of beggar-thy-neighbor.
