Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the importance of fostering positive China-U.S. interactions in the Asia-Pacific region during a meeting with Kyung-wha Kang, president of the Asia Society, in Beijing on Tuesday. Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted recent progress in bilateral economic talks as evidence that 'equal dialogue and mutual respect' can advance shared interests.
While acknowledging advancements in high-level economic discussions, Wang criticized U.S. efforts to 'suppress China’s legitimate development rights,' reiterating Beijing’s opposition to unilateral measures. His remarks underscore the delicate balance between cooperation and competition shaping regional dynamics.
Kang, whose organization promotes cross-cultural understanding, expressed commitment to facilitating fact-based dialogue about China. 'Building platforms to eliminate misunderstandings is crucial,' she said, signaling alignment with Wang’s call for pragmatic engagement.
The discussion comes amid heightened global interest in Asia-Pacific stability, with businesses and policymakers closely monitoring how major powers navigate trade, security, and technological rivalries.
