Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted a one-and-a-half-hour press conference on Thursday in which he outlined what he described as his country’s top foreign policy concerns, among them the claim that America is “obsessed with suppressing China” and needs to protect its “credibility” by maintaining China-friendly policies.
“The U.S. has been devising various tactics to suppress China and kept lengthening its unilateral sanctions list, reaching bewildering levels of unfathomable absurdity,” Wang complained, suggesting America would soon lose “credibility” as a world power: The foreign minister did not specify what kind of “harm” America would do to itself if it chose to address China’s long list of human rights abuses, intellectual property theft violations, and national security threats posed to America, among other problematic issues. Nor did he mention the legitimate grievances that the United States has levied against China, such as the discovery of Chinese “police stations”illegally on U.S.
