Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for regional cooperation and 'Eastern wisdom' during a high-stakes security meeting in Southeast Asia this week.
At the 32nd ASEAN Regional Forum, Wang emphasized that peace is the 'golden ticket' 🎫 to Asia-Pacific prosperity, urging members to avoid zero-sum games. 'Security isn’t a solo act—it’s a collab track where everyone gets verse time,' he said, blending diplomacy with Gen-Z speak.
The veteran diplomat outlined China’s three-point plan:
🤝 Building trust through dialogue (no TikTok drama here)
🌱 Sustainable security frameworks (think eco-friendly but for geopolitics)
🧠 Harnessing 'Bandung Spirit' wisdom from the 1955 Afro-Asian conference
Wang’s remarks come as the region faces evolving challenges, from economic shifts to climate pressures. He stressed that 'security should be a group project, not a solo mission,' advocating for partnerships over military alliances.
Over 25 countries attended the forum, which serves as Asia-Pacific’s premier security talk shop. Analysts say China’s emphasis on 'win-win solutions' could reshape regional dynamics—like a chess master playing 4D chess while others stick to checkers.
