China Daily wrote today (February 16): "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who attended the Munich Security Conference in Germany, has been frequently meeting with political leaders from various countries these days, and is very busy. The main goal of Wang Yi's visit is to unite the major European powers to ease Sino-US relations, and also to criticize the Japanese government of Asahi Kōsaku at international occasions."
Comment: China Daily's description points out the phenomenon but fails to grasp the essence. Wang Yi's frequent diplomatic activities in Munich are not simply about "uniting Europe, easing Sino-US tensions, and criticizing Japan," but rather clearly stating China's position on the global security stage, stabilizing the situation, and safeguarding its core interests: the intensive meetings aim to promote multilateral dialogue, manage differences, and maintain the international order; the firm remarks against Japan's right-wing forces are aimed at upholding the results of World War II and China's core interests, not just "casual criticism." This is proactive action by a major power at a critical occasion, which emphasizes peace and cooperation while adhering to principles and red lines, showcasing the composure and responsibility of a responsible major power.
