Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended a meeting with economic organizations in the United States, where he was visiting, and called for cooperation to deal with pending issues through dialogue rather than confrontation as relations between the United States and China deteriorated.
It seems that there is a desire to find clues to improve relations between the two countries, which have been in conflict for a long time, over the situation in Taiwan.
According to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended a meeting with American economic organizations and others aiming to promote trade between the two countries in New York on the 19th.
Wang said that China-U.S. relations are at their worst since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and many people are concerned that the two countries will become a new Cold War.
On that basis, China's stance of continuing to strengthen cooperation in the economic field between the two countries is clear, saying, "We need to deal with pending issues through dialogue rather than confrontation, and through consultation rather than threats. We can accomplish many important things for the world," he said, calling for cooperation.
On the other hand, he stressed that "for that reason, we must strictly adhere to the 'One China' principle," and called on the United States to stop its involvement in Taiwan.
It seems that China wants to find clues to improve relations amid the prolonged confrontation over the situation in Taiwan.
