Wang Yi , Chinese Foreign Minister stated on Friday that China will “play along to the end” if the U.S. is bent on suppressing the nation even though Beijing does not wish to be in dispute with Washington, according to Reuters.
Wang Yi, briefing at the Munich Security Conference, stated Beijing would reply resolutely to unilateral “bullying” practices, but hopes the United States can collaborate with it in the same direction.
Prior this month, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped a further 10% tariff on all Chinese products despite having what he had explained as a “good” telephone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping weeks earlier.
The levies spurred Beijing to hit back with up to 15% in duties on some United States imports, reigniting fears of a full-blown trade war between the largest world’s economies, as per Reuters.
In the prior weeks Donald Trump was sworn in, the Biden administration announced more curbs on advanced technology that can be sold to beijing, in an additional efforts to stop Chinese firms from generating high-tech chips that can be used by Chinese military applications.
According to Reuters, Beijing stated the curbs had been part of a ongoing plan to curb the technological progress of China.
Beijing has developed and grown by tackling difficulties and obstacles, and will not be scared, Wang Yi stated at the Munich conference, whose attendees comprised U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
Wang Yi, then quoted multiple Chinese statings, such as one from the first chapter of the Chinese classic, the Book of Changes, as the I Ching is known: “The movement of Heaven is full of vigour. Thus the gentleman (follows suit and) makes himself strong and untiring.”
“These lines are hard to translate, you can get DeepSeek to help,” Wang Yi stated with a smile.
DeepSeek is an artificial intelligence app developed by China despite United States chip curbs, an app that is dangerous to challenge the dominance of United States generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT.
