What did Wang Yi say?, China US Meeting Beijing | China | Wang Yi
On June 19, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken of the United States in Beijing.
Wang Yi said that Mr. Secretary of State's trip to Beijing coincides with a critical juncture in China US relations, requiring a choice between dialogue, confrontation, cooperation, or conflict. History must always move forward, and the relationship between China and the United States must ultimately move forward. There is no way out to reverse history, and it is even more unacceptable to start over from the end. We must adopt a responsible attitude towards the people, history, and the world, reverse the spiral decline of China US relations, promote a return to a healthy and stable track, and jointly find the correct way for China US to coexist in the new era.
Wang Yi emphasized that the root cause of the low point in China US relations is that the US holds a wrong understanding of China, leading to incorrect policies towards China. China US relations have gone through ups and downs, and it is necessary for the US to deeply reflect and work with China to jointly manage differences and avoid strategic accidents. The urgent task for China US relations to stabilize is to truly implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state.
Wang Yi thoroughly explained the historical logic and inevitable trend of China's development and revitalization, introduced the distinctive features of Chinese path to modernization and the rich connotation of people's democracy in the whole process, and urged the United States not to mirror China with the template that a strong country must dominate, and not to misjudge China with the track of traditional western powers. This is the key to whether the US policy towards China can truly return to objective rationality.

Wang Yi demanded that the US stop hyping up the "China threat theory", lift illegal unilateral sanctions against China, abandon suppression of China's scientific and technological development, and refrain from arbitrary interference in China's internal affairs.On this issue, China has no room for compromise or compromise.
Antony Blinken introduced the views of the US side, saying that the US side is committed to returning to the agenda set by the two heads of state at the Bali meeting, and looks forward to strengthening communication with China, responsibly managing and controlling differences, and carrying out cooperation in areas of common interest.
Both sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.
