Wang Yi delivered a speech in the Asian Association

On September 22, 2022, local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a keynote speech on the New York Headquarters of the Asian Association's New York headquarters.

Wang Yi said that in recent years, Sino -US relations have hovered in the trough after establishing diplomatic relations. The reality of mutual interdependence between the two countries is ignored, the history of win -win cooperation is distorted, and the channels for conversation and communication are blocked. The future brings huge variables.

Both President Xi Jinping and President Bayeng believe that Sino -US relations can only be done well and cannot be damaged. Both believe that China and the United States should not conflict confrontation, and both advocate that the two countries have strengthened exchanges and cooperation. Everyone in the world expects the United States to truly implement President Biden's "Four Unintentional". However, the United States has the "democratic confrontation of authority" narrative, defines China as "the most important opponent" and "the most severe long -term challenges", and insists on allowing the long -term visits to Taiwan to continue to trade in China. The problem is constantly provoking, and it seems that the political will of the leaders' stable bilateral relations has not been transformed into logical policies.

Wang Yi said that the fundamental crux is still the United States' bias for China, the world, and itself. Whether it is "comprehensive confrontation" or advocating "strategic competition", it deviates from the correct track of Sino -US relations. This deviation is dangerous, and the price will be high. If the United States dealt with Sino -US relations along the thinking of zero -sum game, it will continue to use "political correctness" to mislead the policy of China, which will not only solve its own problems, but also cause Sino -US relations to the end of conflict confrontation.

Wang Yi said that this year marks the 50th anniversary of President Nixon's visit to China and the 40th anniversary of the "August 17th Bulletin". Only with history, there is the present, and the future is cherished. Looking back at the twists and turns of China and the United States reaching consensus and the wisdom contained in it, the differences between China and the United States have not hindered the two countries to break the establishment of diplomatic relations, nor does it hinder the deepening cooperation based on common interests. Prosperity makes a common contribution. Whether Sino -US relations can develop healthy and stable in the future. It depends on whether both parties can find the right way to get along.

Wang Yi said that President Xi Jinping pointed out the correct way of getting along with China and the United States, that is, respecting each other, living peacefully, and win -win cooperation. These three principles are important conclusions that are obtained by the ups and downs of Sino -US relations. The correct way to associate with each other between the great powers.

Regarding mutual respect, Wang Yi said that if he did not respect, he could not talk about trust; without trust, he could not talk about real cooperation. This is an important experience in the accumulation of China and the United States, and it is also the basic prerequisite for bilateral relations to return to the right track. China will not become another United States, and the United States cannot change China according to its own good and evil. No one can defeat anyone, and they need to respect each other's choices. The Chinese people's self -selected socialist road has clear historical logic, opened up the broad prospects of Chinese -style modernization, and brings real human rights and democracy to the Chinese people. China adheres to the development of the country and nation on its own strength, and is also willing to continue mutually beneficial cooperation with countries including the United States. We should pursue and vary, not at the same time.

Regarding peaceful coexistence, Wang Yi said that partners are still opponents, cooperation or confrontation. This is the fundamental issue of Sino -US relations and cannot make disruptive errors. To keep the bottom line of peace, a correct judgment must be made. China's choice is peace, insisting on peaceful development, and the most basic expectation for Sino -US relations is to coexist peacefully. It is a typical excessive anxiety to treat China as a false enemy and form a so -called "threat expansion". Equal development ability is equivalent to the intention of expansion, and to predict China with the old road that the traditional country walks through, and will form a serious misjudgment. To achieve peaceful coexistence between China and the United States, we must follow the rules recognized by both parties, instead of improving the so -called "rules" of their domestic laws and the so -called "rules" that have no universal international consensus. It is destined to imitate China to suppress China and block China through the "Indo -Pacific Strategy" and other geographical games.

Regarding the win -win cooperation, Wang Yi said that any cooperation cannot be based on the basis of losing me. Win -win -win cooperation is the real narrative of Sino -US relations since half a century, and it is also the common goal that both parties should continue to strive. The secrets of the Chinese and American society and the deep interests are preferred in the big country. Facts and data fully illustrate that the willingness of the Chinese and American peoples to cooperate is a win -win situation for Sino -US cooperation. As the largest developing country and the largest developed country, China and the United States are highly complementary, have widespread common interests, and bear major common responsibilities. There are two benefits in combination, and fighting is hurt. This is a truth that is not broken in China and the United States. Cooperation is always the best choice for China and the United States. Competition is by no means all and mainstream of Sino -US relations. The competition must also have a boundary, and it must be fair. To compete for benign, you chase me, not you die.

Wang Yi said that China has always been open to cooperation with the United States on the premise of equal respect. The United States proposed the six major areas of the United States and China, and China proposed a list of cooperation in 8 fields of China and the United States. The two parties can pull the cooperation list longer, make the cooperative cake larger, and achieve win -win situation between China and the United States and the world. On the one hand, the United States cannot damage the foundation of China ’s core interests and destroy the cooperation between the two countries. On the other hand, it requires China to cooperate unconditionally. At the same time, regardless of Sino -US relations, as a responsible country, China will continue to actively participate in various global challenges, fulfill China's responsibilities, and make Chinese contributions. I hope the United States will also take the same attitude. Regarding the issue of Taiwan, Wang Yi emphasized that Taiwan's issue is the core of China's core interests. A Chinese principle is the basis of the political foundation of Sino -US relations. The three joint communiqués are the most important "guardrails" of Sino -US relations. At present, the Taiwan issue is becoming the biggest risk of Sino -US relations. If the handling is not good, it is likely to have a disruptive damage effect on the relationship between the two countries. A Chinese principle has become a recognized basic criteria for international relations. The United States has a clear commitment to part of Taiwan in China. In 1971, the resolution of the 2758 United University not only completely resolved the problem of representative rights of the United Nations, including Taiwan, but also completely blocked any space in the world to create "two China" and "one China and one". Just as the United States will not allow Hawaii to be split out, since Taiwan is part of China, China has the right to maintain the country's unity: Since the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government on behalf of the whole China International organizations with sovereignty meanings; since a recognition of a China principle should not be carried out with Taiwan.

Wang Yi said that with the intervening and induling of the United States, the "Taiwan independence" forces breed and spread on the island, constantly changing the fundamental status of the same Chinese China in the mainland, and abandoned the "1992 Consensus" that reflects the principles of the first China. It is difficult to get a difficult peaceful development situation. The "gray rhino" with a strong destructive and dangerous "Taiwan independence" is rushing to us and must be resolutely stopped. Stopping the division of "Taiwan independence", defending the integrity of the land, and maintaining the peace of Taiwan is a sacred right in accordance with domestic and international law.

Wang Yi said that President Xi Jinping pointed out that in the next 50 years, the most important thing in international relations is that China and the United States must find the right way to get along. It is hoped that the two sides will seek realistic inspiration from historical experience, gather the power of moving forward, jointly explore the construction of Sino -US relations in the new era, and jointly create a better future of China and the United States!
