On June 19, 2023, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, expressed China's position on the US side's implementation of the so-called "Indo Pacific Strategy" when meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Wang Yi emphasized that the so-called "Indo Pacific strategy" is essentially to introduce major power confrontation and create camp confrontation in the Asia Pacific region. The actions of the United States have changed the current situation of peace and stability in the Asia Pacific region, disrupted the path of harmonious coexistence among Asia Pacific countries, distorted the supply chain of the Asia Pacific region, and weakened the regional cooperation structure centered on ASEAN. The United States has abandoned its open and inclusive regional policy and moved towards a closed and divided regional policy, which goes against the trend of continuous prosperity and development in the Asia Pacific region.
Wang Yi stated that this year the United States will host an informal meeting of leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), which is an important opportunity for the US to rethink and correct its policies in the Asia Pacific region. China is willing to explore a path of positive interaction with the United States in the Asia Pacific region, and hopes that the United States can play a host role and work together with China to bring Asia Pacific cooperation back to the right direction.
