On May 20, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with President of the U.S. Asia Society Kyung-wha Kang in Beijing.

Wang Yi said, China's policy toward the United States remains consistent and stable, and is always guided by the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping. Recently, progress has been made in the China-U.S. high-level meeting on economic and trade affairs, which once again proves that equal dialogue, mutual respect and proper handling of each other's legitimate concerns serve the common interests of both China and the United States. At the same time, however, the United States continues to suppress and contain China's legitimate right to development. Its recent move to seek a complete blockade on China's chips is a blatant act of unilateralism and bullying. China firmly opposes this.

Wang Yi said, major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics is rooted in China's 5,000-year-old civilization. It advocates for the practice of true multilateralism and open regionalism, aims to gather the greatest consensus for solidarity and cooperation, and works to address global challenges together. The Asia-Pacific region is where the common interests of China and the United States converge, and at the meantime, a focal area for their contradictions and differences. China and the United States should achieve positive interactions in the Asia-Pacific region first, thereby establishing a correct way for the two countries to get along with each other and finding effective channels for win-win cooperation. China appreciates the commitment of the Asia Society to enhancing dialogue, exchange and mutual understanding between China and the United States, and hopes that the Asia Society will continue to serve as a bridge to enhance the correct understanding of China among the American public.

Kyung-wha Kang said that the Asia Society has a deep understanding of China's millennia-old cultural heritage and is willing to continue sharing fact-based and objective views on China, and work with more insightful people in the United States to build platforms for dialogue to dispel misunderstandings and promote mutual understanding.
