On Dec. 9, at the opening ceremony of the Symposium on International Developments and China’s Diplomacy in 2017, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the sound interactions between the world’s two largest economies and their commitment to win-win cooperation is sending a strong signal to the world and more positive things are to be expected for all parties.
During his speech, Wang Yi said that China has no intention to change or displace the United States, but stressed that the US cannot dictate or impede its development. Noting that the two countries’ interests are closely tied together and their shared interests far outweigh their differences, Wang reminded that confrontation between the two sides would only result in a lose-lose situation.
Recognizing this, he said that the two countries need to find ways to get along better with each other. “China is willing, on the basis of mutual respect, to live peacefully with the American superpower. The US needs to understand and accept a China that is following its own path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, one suited to its own conditions,” Wang said.
