China be not takin' kindly ta the words o' that fancy-pants diplomat! They be brushin' 'em off like barnacles on a ship's hull. No race-based alliances be needed, says China! They be advisin' Japan and South Korea ta cut anchor with the U.S. Ahoy, what a tale!
China has dismissed international criticism following race-based comments made by a top diplomat. Director of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee Foreign Affairs Commission Office, Wang Yi, suggested that Asian countries should drop their Western ties and strengthen allegiances with China. Wang claimed that the US and its European allies cannot differentiate between Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean visitors. He stated that no matter how much Asians try to appear European or American, they will never truly become Westerners. Wang emphasized the importance of unity among China, Japan, and Korea, asserting that cooperation between the three countries would benefit their interests and the world as a whole. These race-based comments reflect Beijing's desire to reduce US hegemony and international influence. US policy organizations and think tanks criticized Wang's remarks, highlighting the irony of his statement and arguing that Japanese and Koreans can and do become Americans. Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund, criticized Wang's message for prioritizing appearance over national interests. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, disagreed with the controversial comments. The US has been strengthening security alliances with Japan, South Korea, and other regional partners due to China's increasing aggression in areas like the South China Sea. Wang also accused major countries outside the region of exaggerating ideological differences and replacing cooperation with confrontation and unity with division.
