🤝 Chinese FM Wang Yi welcomed a bipartisan US House delegation led by Rep. Adam Smith in Beijing, calling it an "ice-breaking journey" for China-US ties. This marks the first visit by US House members since 2019.
As a top member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Wang highlighted that the visit brings diverse voices from across the US political spectrum and echoes people’s hopes for stable, healthy relations—kind of like hitting "refresh" on a lagging app.📱✨
He urged Washington to get an accurate picture of the Chinese mainland, tackle differences with a level head, and explore areas of cooperation from trade to climate action—imagine new tech collaborations or green-energy projects that benefit everyone.🌱🔋
Wang stressed that China and the US are partners, not rivals, and called for more open dialogue to clear up misunderstandings, prevent unnecessary clashes, and boost win-win cooperation. Think of it as two neighbours helping each other rather than arguing over the fence.👥🌏
On the Taiwan question, the minister reaffirmed it is an internal matter of China and emphasized that safeguarding peace in the Taiwan Strait requires firm opposition to "Taiwan secessionists."🇨🇳
For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, this visit is a key moment in global diplomacy—proof that even big powers can hit reset and work toward bigger, shared goals. Stay tuned as we follow how this "ice break" unfolds!❄️➡️🔥
