Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi criticized US tariffs on China, stating that economic relations should be mutually beneficial and warning that Beijing would respond to pressure.
At a press conference during the National People’s Congress, Wang dismissed US claims linking tariffs to the fentanyl crisis, arguing that the issue was for Washington to resolve. He also warned against a return to power-driven global politics, urging major nations to avoid bullying smaller countries.
On international issues, Wang rejected US proposals on Gaza, reaffirmed support for a two-state solution, and called for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. He also defended China’s stance on Taiwan, asserting it has never been and will never be an independent country.
