On April 30th, 2025, an article by Ambassador Wu Wei titled “Pursuing Partnership and Joining Hands for A Bright Future of China-FSM relations” was published in The Kaselehlie Press, the bi-weekly newspaper in the FSM, in its Vol. 25 and Iss. 10. The article stresses that the United States has imposed tariffs on all its trading partners, including China, under various pretexts. This severely infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of all countries and severely disrupts the global economic order. The majority of medium-sized and small countries are the first to be affected. Such behavior will inevitably be opposed by the international community. China firmly opposes this and has resolutely taken countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests. There are no winners in trade and tariff wars. Protectionism leads nowhere, and openness and cooperation are the right course to follow.

The article points out that going forward, China is willing to closely align its own development with that of its good neighbors, including the FSM, and jointly meet challenges in a common pursuit of development and a better future, so that everyone can lead a better life.
