Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi didn’t mince words during a high-stakes meeting in Almaty, declaring China’s resolve to push back against what he called 'unilateral bullying' by the U.S. 🌍✨ The remarks came during the Sixth China-Central Asia Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, where tensions over tariffs and trade fairness took center stage.
Standing Up for Fair Play
Wang, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, framed the move as a defense of both China’s interests and global justice. 💬 'We’re not just guarding our own house—we’re protecting the neighborhood,' he implied, emphasizing collaboration to oppose protectionism and uphold free trade. Analysts see this as a direct response to recent U.S. tariff hikes on Chinese goods.
Strengthening Central Asia Ties
The meeting also spotlighted China’s deepening partnership with Tajikistan—think tech, green energy, and even healthcare! 🤝 Wang praised progress under the Belt and Road Initiative, while Tajik FM Sirojiddin Muhriddin rolled out the red carpet for Chinese investors, saying: 'Let’s build together!'
