Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is facing the media this morning to outline Beijing’s foreign policy direction in one of the most-watched events during the annual “two sessions”.
The press conference is held as China carefully manages its strategic rivalry with the United States, a dynamic that has evolved from a period of intense friction into one tempered by recent high-level exchanges and dialogue.
Meanwhile, Beijing has sought to deepen economic ties with Europe as countries, including Washington’s traditional allies, are recalibrating their relations with China amid the Donald Trump administration’s unpredictability.
