Regarding Sino-US relations, Wang Yi said that since the San Francisco meeting, some progress has been made in improving Sino-US relations, which is in line with the interests and aspirations of the two countries and the people of the world.

When answering a question about China-EU relations, Wang Yi used an image metaphor, pointing out that a few years ago the EU labeled China as a partner, a competitor, and an institutional rival at the same time.

When talking about his views on the current international order, Wang Yi made it clear that China advocates that an equal and orderly world multipolarization and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization should be achieved.
He said that we can no longer allow countries to be divided into three, six or nine levels based on their so-called strength and status.

Talking about the One-China Principle: Sooner or later, we will see the "family portrait"
Regarding the prospect of peaceful cross-Strait reunification, Wang Yi once again stated China's bottom line: If there are still people who condone and support "Taiwan independence", they are challenging China's sovereignty.
If a certain country insists on maintaining official relations with the Taiwan region, it is interfering in China's internal affairs.
"I believe that sooner or later everyone will see a 'family photo' of the international community abiding by the one-China principle," Wang Yi stressed, "it is only a matter of time."
