‘What has it achieved?’: China’s top diplomat Wang Yi takes aim at Trump’s foreign policy
China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, directly criticized former US President Donald Trump's foreign policy, asserting that it failed to contain China or improve America. Wang questioned the effectiveness of Trump's trade war, suggesting it neither reduced the trade deficit nor enhanced US competitiveness. He emphasized that China would retaliate against any unwarranted pressure from the US.
Wang's remarks came during a press conference at China's annual "two sessions" parliamentary gathering. Despite limited opportunities for American media to pose questions, a significant portion of the inquiries focused on US-China relations. Wang used these opportunities to subtly and overtly challenge Washington's approach on various global issues, ranging from global governance to technological competition and economic development, portraying the US as an irresponsible major power.
