FM Wang Yi: Regarding the situation in Iran, this is a war that should not have happened—it is a war that does no one any good. The history of the Middle East tells the world time and again that force provides no solution and armed conflict will only increase hatred and breed new crises. Once again, China calls for an immediate stop to military operations to avoid the spiraling escalation of the situation and prevent the conflict from spilling over and spreading.

FM Wang Yi: The Global South has become a key driving force to promote a multipolar world. The Global South should strengthen communication and coordination, jointly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, and expand the space for independent development amid the rise of hegemonism and power politics. Multilateralism is vital for Global South countries, world affairs must always be discussed and handled by all nations, and international rules shall be formulated by all countries. China's heart is with the Global South and China's root is in the Global South.

FM Wang Yi: Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times. It never was, is not, and never will be a country. Its return to China is a victorious outcome of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Second World War. Its status has been definitively fixed by a series of international legal instruments, including the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, Japan’s Instrument of Surrender, and Resolution 2758 of the U.N. General Assembly. Any attempt to create “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan” is doomed to fail. Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing the complete reunification of our motherland is a historic process that cannot be stopped. Those who support it are on the right side of history; those who defy it shall perish.

FM Wang Yi: The future of China-Japan relations hinges on Japan’s choice. Last year marked the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In such a special year, Japan should have deeply repented of the wrong path it chose, including its brutal invasion and colonization of Taiwan. Yet the current Japanese leader claimed that a Taiwan contingency could constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, under which Japan may exercise its so-called “right of collective self-defense.” It’s well-known that the right of self-defense shall be invoked only when a country has come under armed attack. One would ask: Since Taiwan affairs are purely China’s internal affairs, what gives Japan the right to interfere with them? Why is Japan entitled to invoke self-defense if anything happens in China’s Taiwan region? Is exercising the “right of collective self-defense” simply a way to hollow out Japan’s pacifist Constitution, which renounces the right of belligerency? Given that Japanese militarists had used “survival-threatening situation” as pretext for launching aggression, such rhetoric can only make the people in China and the rest of Asia alert and deeply worried: Where exactly is Japan headed? This year also marks another significant 80th anniversary—that of the opening of the Tokyo Trials. Eighty years ago, judges from 11 countries commenced proceedings that would span two and a half years, reviewed a mountain of irrefutable evidence, and laid bare the innumerable crimes of Japanese militarists. Eighty years on today, Japan is given another opportunity for serious soul-searching. We hope the Japanese people will keep their eyes wide open and never allow anyone foolish enough to tread the same disastrous path today. China is already a strong country. The 1.4 billion people of China will never allow anyone to justify colonialism or reverse history’s verdict on aggression.

FM Wang Yi: China-proposed Global Governance Initiative could not be more timely. The GGI fully meets the common expectations of the international community and reflects the shared aspirations of people from all countries. The most clear-cut signal from the GGI is that the leading status of the United Nations (UN) must be upheld, not challenged; the central role of the UN must be strengthened, not weakened. Creating parallel structures outside the UN or, worse still, putting together various exclusive blocs and circles is unpopular and unsustainable. As a founding member of the UN and a staunch defender of its cause, China calls on more countries to participate in and support the GGI, and to work together to revitalize the UN, defend the UN and make the UN stronger.

FM Wang Yi: China and the U.S. are both big countries. Neither side can remodel the other, but we can choose how we want to engage, that is, to commit to a spirit of mutual respect, to hold the bottom line of peaceful coexistence, and to strive for the prospect of win-win cooperation. That’s what serves the interests of Chinese and American peoples, and that’s also the expectation of the international community. This year is a “big year” for China-U.S. relations. The agenda of high-level exchanges is already on the table. China is always committed and open. It is critical that the U.S. side work in the same direction. When the two sides treat each other with sincerity and good faith, we will be able to lengthen the list of cooperation, and shorten the list of problems. The year of 2026 can be a landmark year of sound, steady and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations.

FM Wang Yi: Neighbors helping neighbors and building an amicable neighborhood is part of Chinese tradition and culture. China always places the neighboring region in a priority position of its diplomatic agenda. Facts show that China is always an anchor for regional security, an engine for development and prosperity, and a champion of the shared values of Asian countries. We are happy and proud to play this role, and we stand ready to step up such efforts in the future.
