On December 25, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the successful fight against the hegemony of the United States and countering the policy of forceful influence of Washington has become one of the key achievements of China’s diplomacy in 2022. According to him, to counter the US and other Western countries, China successfully used the UN platform, where it defended its national interests.
Two days earlier, Wang Yi, in a telephone conversation with US State Department Secretary Anthony Blinken, urged the US to take China’s legitimate concerns about Taiwan seriously and end containment. He also pointed out that Washington should not “talk about cooperation and stab at the same time.”
Tensions around Taiwan escalated after Nancy Pelosi, then Speaker of the House of Representatives, visited Taipei last August. The day after its completion, the People’s Liberation Army of China launched large-scale rocket firing maneuvers in six zones of the island’s waters.
