Three postures, China shows its confidence as a great power to the outside world

  Wang Wen believes that the so-called "confident major-country diplomacy" means, on the one hand, to look at every country from the perspective of the world; on the other hand, to firmly defend China's interests.

  Foreign Minister Qin Gang said in response to the so-called "wolf warrior diplomacy", "I remember when I first came to the United States as an ambassador, the American media exclaimed, 'Chinese wolf warrior' is here. Now that I am back as foreign minister, I am not given this The title, I really feel lost. He said, "China's diplomacy has enough kindness and goodwill, but when wolves stand in the way and wolves attack, Chinese diplomats must 'dance with wolves' to defend their home and country.

"

  In Wang Wen's view, the remarks made by Foreign Minister Qin Gang just reflect China's diplomatic confidence.

  "We have seen that China's diplomacy has dared to fight and is good at fighting over the years, and has firmly safeguarded China's core interests. We have firmly maintained the external environment in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and created a collectively good external environment. Therefore, such a process , is closely related to China's current self-confidence." Wang Wen said.

  He pointed out that there is no need to mind the so-called "hats" that the outside world puts on China.

"As for the 'hats' given by the West, I believe they have given out too many 'hats', and those 'hats' are probably getting cheaper and cheaper." Wang Wen said.

  Wang Wen also pointed out that the key thing to care about is whether China's external behavior will help protect its own interests, whether it will help promote world peace and development, and whether it will help the reform and positive development of the international system. trend.

"I believe these three (aspects) can measure our external posture."

  Wang Wen noted that among China’s “two major home diplomacies” mentioned by Foreign Minister Qin Gang, one is the “China + Five Central Asian Countries” summit, and the other is the third “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum .

  "I believe that dozens of heads of state, heads of government and related leaders will come to China for this summit forum, and even more. This further shows the frequent interaction of China's foreign exchanges, which is the 'accelerator'."

  At the press conference of the two sessions on the 7th, Qin Gang said that the current situation of the domestic new crown epidemic has improved, and exchanges between China and foreign countries have resumed in an orderly manner.
