Chinese diplomacy has launched a brilliant counter-encirclement campaign! Faced with America's attempt to encircle us, our diplomatic front went on the offensive comprehensively, catching America off guard. On the stage of the United Nations, we took the lead, and more than 80 countries were invited to attend the meeting. We explicitly criticized America for abusing tariff weapons, exposing America's bad image in the field of tariffs to the public. In the field of bilateral diplomacy, we continued to take action.
On April 21, the first meeting of the "2+2" dialogue mechanism between China and Indonesia's foreign ministers and defense ministers was held. Both sides expressed their intention to promote the construction of a China-Indonesia community with a shared future and deepen cooperation in all fields. Subsequently, on April 22, the Austrian foreign minister and the British foreign secretary called our foreign minister. And on April 24, our foreign minister met with Swiss Federal Councillor and Foreign Minister Cassis during his working visit to China. Both sides agreed to maintain high-level exchanges and accelerate the upgrade negotiations of the free trade agreement.
In our active mediation, Britain, Japan, and South Korea have also made clear statements. British Foreign Secretary Layman said that Britain firmly supports free trade and maintains a multilateral trading system centered on the World Trade Organization. South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yong then said that no country in the region is willing to make a choice between the US and China, and South Korea supports the multilateral trading system.
Japanese officials stated that due to the importance of Japan-China trade relations, Japan will not join the US in any efforts to include it in targeting China. Clearly, America attempted to build an encirclement against us, but we launched a brilliant counter-encirclement campaign against America on the diplomatic front. The facts prove that America cannot isolate China. Whether on the UN stage or in bilateral relations, we are receiving increasing support and responses. Undoubtedly, America's plans are falling through.
