China has long maintained that dialogue is the only solution to the Ukraine crisis. However, Beijing's previous efforts, such as the six-point peace plan announced by China and Brazil in May 2024, were rejected by Mr. Zelenskyy on the grounds that it favored Moscow's interests.
In addition to the Ukraine issue, Mr. Wang Yi also spoke about the tension between China and the US. He declared that Beijing will "persist to the end" in the trade war with Washington, although China does not want conflict with the US.
The comments came after Mr Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and Beijing responded with tariffs of up to 15% on imports from the US.
In addition, the Joe Biden administration's previous restrictions on high-tech exports also increased tensions, as Beijing accused the US of trying to curb China's technological advancement.
Speaking at the conference, Wang stressed that China has overcome many difficulties and will not be afraid of challenges. He also cited the Book of Changes to emphasize China's resilience, and mentioned DeepSeek, a domestically developed AI application, as a testament to China's technological capabilities despite US chip restrictions.
