Chinese FM Warns Against ‘High Fences’ in Tech Race
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi doubled down on the need for U.S.-China collaboration during a National People’s Congress press conference Friday, comparing economic decoupling to blocking sunlight to grow plants. “Supply chain disruptions only lead to self-isolation,” he told CGTN.
Citing innovation as a global driver, Wang stressed tech competition shouldn’t morph into a ‘Cold War 2.0’. “True partnership is reciprocal—like a *Marvel crossover*, but for economies,” he quipped, emphasizing mutual gains from cooperation.
But he also warned: “You can’t suppress China *and* expect smooth ties.” His remarks signal Beijing’s pushback against U.S. tech curbs, hinting at possible countermeasures ahead.
: No to Decoupling!
