Munich, February 14, Xinhua — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday reaffirmed China's commitment to promoting peace talks on the Ukrainian issue, stressing that Europe has the legitimate right to participate in the negotiation process.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a speech at the “China in the World” session at the Munich Security Conference, responding to a question about China’s role in resolving regional conflicts, in particular the Ukrainian crisis.

According to him, China's position is extremely clear: all regional hotbeds of tension must be resolved through dialogue and consultation, and this fully applies to the Ukrainian issue.

China is not a party to the conflict and therefore has no right to decide its outcome, Wang Yi continued, emphasizing that China's contribution is to promote peace and advance negotiations. He stated that China's special envoys were sent for mediation purposes, and Beijing, through various channels, urged all parties to agree to a ceasefire and return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that the resumption of dialogue between the parties involved is encouraging, especially given that discussions have begun to focus on the substantive aspects of the Ukrainian crisis. While acknowledging the existence of serious disagreements and the impossibility of achieving peace overnight, he emphasized that without sustained dialogue, a peace agreement will not emerge on its own.

China, he added, will continue to support all efforts aimed at achieving peace and will play a constructive role in this in its own way.

The Chinese diplomat also emphasized that Europe should not remain a bystander in this process. He recalled that after the start of dialogue between the US and Russia early last year, Europe appeared to be sidelined. Since the conflict is unfolding on European soil, Europe has the right and should participate in the negotiations. Europe should be "at the table," not "on the menu," he emphasized.

According to Wang Yi, China supports Europe's dialogue with Russia and the European side's proposals and solutions. By addressing the root causes of the conflict, it is necessary to create a more balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture to prevent similar crises in the future and ensure long-term peace and stability on the continent, he concluded.

Munich /Germany/, February 14 /Xinhua/ – China and Europe are partners, not adversaries, and certainly not “systemic rivals,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks while answering questions about relations between China and the European Union after his speech at the "China in the World" session at the Munich Security Conference.

The diplomat noted that the depth of the partnership between China and Europe is clearly demonstrated by their more than half a century of interaction and daily trade turnover exceeding US$2 billion, but he warned that exaggerating the differences could harm Sino-European relations.

While acknowledging differences in social systems, values, and development paths, Wang Yi emphasized that these differences do not create grounds for rivalry, and that differences are not grounds for confrontation. The correct approach, he argued, is instead one of mutual respect, mutual approval, and mutual learning, so as to work together to achieve common development and fill the world with light.

The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry quoted an ancient Chinese proverb: “All things develop together without hindering each other; all paths run parallel without contradicting each other,” adding that “a noble man strives for harmony, but not uniformity.”

As Wang Yi explained, this means striving for harmonious coexistence while recognizing differences – a principle known as the "way of the noble man" – and China and Europe should act in accordance with this principle.

He emphasized that in today's complex and turbulent international environment, both sides must work hand in hand to implement multilateralism, defend the authority of the UN, resist unilateral bullying, and resist bloc confrontation.

Wang Yi expressed hope that the two sides would jointly implement the four global initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping and build a more equitable and rational global governance system, so that this would become the general direction of China-EU cooperation.

Munich, Germany, February 14, Xinhua — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday that history has developed in a tortuous way and that relations between China and the United States have a bright future.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement while answering questions about Sino-US relations after speaking at the "China in the World" session at the Munich Security Conference.

The Chinese diplomat noted that how China and the United States, the world's two largest powers, build relations with each other affects the fundamental direction of the international situation.

He said China has always viewed and approached its relations with the United States from a historical perspective and with a high sense of responsibility to the people and the world.

Wang Yi emphasized that Chinese President Xi Jinping summarized the experience and lessons of decades of China-US relations and solemnly proposed that China and the US respect each other, coexist peacefully, strive for mutually beneficial cooperation, and jointly find the right path for interaction between the two great powers on this planet through dialogue and consultation.

The Chinese Foreign Minister stated that China will continue to pursue this general course, as it serves the interests of the peoples of both countries and the common interests of the international community. However, he also emphasized that its implementation depends on the position of the United States.

He noted that it is gratifying to see that US President Donald Trump has great respect for Xi Jinping and the Chinese people. Trump clearly stated that China and the United States can work together to address major global challenges, and that the two leaders can advance Sino-American relations.

However, Wang Yi added, there are still people in the United States who do not share this view and continue to try their best to contain and suppress China, as well as attack and slander the country in any way.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that Sino-American relations face two possible scenarios. The first is that the United States develops an objective and rational understanding of China, pursues a proactive and pragmatic policy toward China, moves in the same direction with China, and continues to expand their shared interests. At the same time, the two sides move toward cooperation, which will benefit both countries and the entire world.

The second scenario, he said, is severing ties and supply chains with China, countering and containing China, forming various "inner circles" and "closed blocs" directed against China, and even attempting to engineer "Taiwan independence," divide China, and cross its red lines. He emphasized that such steps would lead to confrontation between the two countries.

China hopes for the first scenario, but is also prepared to take various risks, Wang Yi assured, adding that the vision and principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation will ultimately prevail, as this is the only correct choice. –0–

He added that Ukraine will do everything possible to ensure these negotiations are successful.

That same day, V. Zelenskyy stated at a conference panel discussion that US President Donald Trump could pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to ensure a ceasefire, and the Ukrainian parliament would change the law, and Ukrainians would go to the polls. –0–

BEIJING, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) — China on Saturday released guidelines to promote the upgrading of the tea industry, aiming to build an industry chain worth 1.5 trillion yuan (about 216 billion U.S. dollars) by 2030.

A document jointly prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and four other government agencies aims to significantly improve the quality and efficiency of the tea industry. By 2030, the plan is to create a sector that is well-supplied, environmentally friendly, intelligent, and internationally competitive.

Until then, by 2028, the main tea-producing regions, while maintaining stable growth rates, should demonstrate new advances that will contribute to a sustained improvement in the quality and efficiency of local production and, consequently, a significant increase in the level of modernization of the industry chain, an expansion of the product range and consumption scenarios.

To ensure the achievement of these goals, the document outlines a set of key objectives, specifically addressing the need to enhance scientific and technological innovation, support market players, and build specialized industrial clusters. Efforts will also be focused on expanding the use of tea raw materials and components in sectors such as household goods, household chemicals, cosmetics, and healthcare.

China is known as the birthplace of tea. For thousands of years, tea has been deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and has become an integral part of daily life. -0-

Baku, February 14 /Xinhua/ – A concert to celebrate the Chinese New Year (Year of the Horse according to the lunar calendar) was held at the Confucius Institute of the Azerbaijan University of Languages on Friday. People from various walks of life in China and Azerbaijan celebrated the upcoming holiday in a joyful and festive atmosphere.

The assembly hall of the Azerbaijan University of Languages was decorated with red lanterns and festive decorations, and Chinese music was played throughout. Chinese characters for "luck," "happiness," and "prosperity" were hung on the walls, symbolizing the festive atmosphere. Some Azerbaijanis attended the event wearing traditional Chinese clothing.

Chargé d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Azerbaijan, Ding Tao, congratulated the guests on the upcoming New Year and noted that the celebration of Chinese New Year in various countries around the world reflects the Chinese people's aspiration for a bright future in which various civilizations coexist harmoniously and learn from each other. This is a clear example of the implementation of the Global Civilization Initiative, which gives new impetus to building a community with a shared future for humanity.

According to Ding Tao, under the strategic leadership of the two heads of state, China-Azerbaijan relations have entered a new stage of high-quality and comprehensive development, and the friendship between the two countries and their peoples has acquired a new meaning that meets the demands of the times. The Chinese Embassy in Azerbaijan will continue to support the friendship between the two countries and develop Chinese language teaching in the country.

In her speech, Zara Garipova, Vice-Rector of the Azerbaijan University of Languages, noted that celebrating Chinese New Year has become a university tradition. Such events offer Azerbaijani students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the unique Chinese culture, foster interest in learning the Chinese language, and cultivate a love for the Chinese people, history, and traditions. This demonstrates the expanding humanitarian cooperation and strengthening friendship between the two nations, and is also a result of cultural exchanges and mutual learning between countries located along the Silk Road.

At the concert, artists presented a vibrant and diverse cultural program, showcasing the impressive achievements of the Confucius Institute at the Azerbaijan University of Languages in cultural exchange and personnel training over the past decade. Melodic Chinese songs conveyed beautiful New Year wishes and evoked homesickness in the hearts of Chinese living abroad. Azerbaijani students, dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, performed a graceful dance, revealing the unique charm of Eastern culture. Poems were recited with genuine inspiration, extolling their love for Chinese culture and celebrating the friendship between China and Azerbaijan. The captivating and melodic sounds of the khulusi (a type of flute) transported listeners to the fairytale landscapes of the Chinese city of Xishuangbanna, which seemed to come to life right before their eyes. A guitar performance, full of youthful energy, enhanced the joyful atmosphere of the celebration.

As Chinese-Azerbaijani relations rapidly develop, more and more Chinese tourists are visiting Azerbaijan, and the number of Chinese companies investing in the country's economy and establishing businesses here is growing. Azerbaijanis' interest in learning Chinese is currently at an all-time high. In recent years, the number of Azerbaijani students studying in China has increased exponentially. For many Azerbaijanis, China is associated with success and modern technology, and learning Chinese opens new career prospects. It's not uncommon for entire families to study Chinese.

Elementary school student Leila performed a Chinese song at a concert. Despite her young age, she has already become a celebrity in the local Chinese-speaking community and frequently participates in events organized by the Confucius Institute. Leila's mother often tells her about her travels in China, awakening in her daughter a warm feeling for this distant country.

Gunul Huseynova, a lecturer at the Azerbaijan University of Languages, attended the concert as a spectator. Both of her daughters are studying Chinese at the Confucius Institute. The older daughter began learning first, and then the younger one joined her. Infected by their enthusiasm, Gunul and her nephew also began learning Chinese. Gunul noted that Azerbaijan is short of Chinese language teachers. Despite being over 40, she is determined to learn Chinese well and then teach it.
