In about 90 minutes, Wang Yi answered 21 questions, covering not only high-profile major-country relations such as China-US relations and China-Russia relations, but also global governance issues such as the "Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" and the "Belt and Road Initiative", as well as global hotspot issues such as the Ukraine crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli situation.

Talking about the relationship between major countries: Promote positive interaction between major countries
How China manages relations between major countries has always been one of the focus of attention of the outside world at the foreign minister's press conference.
At the press conference of the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress held on the same day, Wang Yi first answered questions on Sino-Russian relations, saying that China-Russia relations conform to the trend of the times of world multipolarization and democratization of international relations, and are of great value for maintaining global strategic stability, promoting benign interaction among major countries, and promoting cooperation among emerging powers.
On Sino-US relations, Wang Yi said: Since the San Francisco meeting, some progress has indeed been made in improving Sino-US relations, which is in line with the interests and aspirations of the people of the two countries and the world. "However, it has to be pointed out that the US side's erroneous perception of China continues, and the promises it has made have not really been fulfilled. He asked the United States four questions in a row, emphasizing that the challenges facing the United States lie with itself, not with China.
When answering questions about China-EU relations, Wang Yi used a visual analogy, pointing out that a few years ago, the European side labeled China as a partner, a competitor, and an institutional rival at the same time. He expressed the hope that China-EU relations will be given a green light and unimpeded all the way.

On global governance: some countries cannot be allowed to be on the menu
At present, China is playing an increasingly important role in global governance. Speaking of his views on the current international order, Wang Yi made it clear that China stands for an equal and orderly multipolar world and an inclusive economic globalization.
He said that it is no longer permissible to divide countries into three, six, nine and so on on the basis of a position of so-called strength, and it is no longer possible to allow whoever has the biggest fist to have the final say, still less can it be allowed that some countries must be on the table and some countries can only be on the menu.
Wang Yi also introduced China's achievements in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind over the past 10 years, and expressed his willingness to work with other countries to jointly build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world featuring lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity. "The road may be tortuous, but the future must be bright. ”
Speaking of the Belt and Road Initiative, Wang Yi said that we expect high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to become an engine for the common development of all countries and an accelerator for world modernization.

Talk about regional hot spots: The end point of any conflict is the negotiating table
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Ukraine crisis, and the Korean Peninsula issue ......On regional hotspot issues, Wang Yi clarified China's position.
There is no distinction between high and low in life, and it cannot be divided by race or religion." Wang Yi said that only by returning justice to the Palestinian people and fully implementing the "two-state solution" can we completely get out of the vicious circle of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Another example is the Ukraine crisis, Wang Yi said that the end point of any conflict is the negotiating table. "The sooner we talk, the sooner peace comes. ”
Along with constructive participation in resolving international hotspot issues, China has also explored a way to resolve hotspot issues with Chinese characteristics. When asked what is the "way to success" of China's mediation diplomacy, Wang Yi replied with "four insistences": insisting on non-interference in internal affairs, insisting on political solutions, insisting on objectivity and fairness, and insisting on treating both the symptoms and the root causes.

Talking about the one-China principle: sooner or later, you will see a "family photo".
In response to the question of the prospect of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait, Wang Yi once again made China's bottom line clear: if there are still people who condone and support "**, it will be a challenge to 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, you will see a 'family photo' of the international community abiding by the one-China principle.** Wang Yi stressed that "it is only a matter of time".
Interactive hot spots: Do you still continue to jump "subject 3"?
At the press conference on the same day, Wang Yi also interacted with reporters on some cutting-edge Internet topics such as artificial intelligence.
Wang Yi said that artificial intelligence has entered a critical stage of explosive development. He hoped that AI would be beneficial, safe and fair, and said that China would submit a draft resolution on "Strengthening International Cooperation on Artificial Intelligence Capacity Building" to the UN General Assembly in due course.
In response to a question from a "Internet celebrity" reporter in China from China-Arab Satellite TV, Wang Yi improvised and asked: "I saw you dancing 'subject three' in the short **, do you continue to dance?" ”
He further said that foreign correspondents in China have reported many vivid and vivid stories about China. "I would like to express my sincere thanks to the journalists who have made great efforts to achieve this! ”
