On December 30, 2025, at the Symposium on the International Situation and China's Foreign Relations, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that facing critical challenges to international justice, China acted as a steadying force. Might does not make right. The winner should not take all. Conscience will not be silenced. Justice will ultimately prevail. Chinese diplomacy is guided by humanity's common values, that is, peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom. In international affairs, China is committed to upholding what is right, promoting what is fair, and serving the common good of all. China has been a staunch defender of the fundamental principles of international justice.

Wang Yi said that to build peace that lasts, China has taken an objective and just stance, and focused on addressing both symptoms and root causes. Following this Chinese approach to settling hotspot issues, China mediated in northern Myanmar, the Iranian nuclear issue, the tensions between Pakistan and India, the issues between Palestine and Israel, and the recent conflict between Cambodia and Thailand. In China's efforts, there was no interference in the internal affairs of others, no incitement, no biased manipulation, and no selfish gains. There was only sincerity and good faith. China's principles and hard work will stand the test of history. On the Palestinian question, the international efforts that have brought about the ceasefire in Gaza are commendable, but the world still owes Palestine justice. This question must not be sidelined again, and the Palestinian people's quest for legitimate national rights must not go unanswered. The principle of "Palestinian people owning and governing Palestine" must be upheld, and the two-State solution remains the only right choice for a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Palestinian question.

Wang Yi said that to build a fairer world, China has stood firm on the right side of history when it comes to central questions about right and wrong, questions that challenge international justice. China has unequivocally opposed hegemonism and power politics, and China has done its best to provide both moral and practical support to countries suffering injustice. Tariff and trade wars hurt the legitimate rights and interests of countries around the world, and undermine the multilateral trading system. China has stood up to such practices in defense of international fairness and justice as well as China's legitimate rights and interests.
