Beijing, Feb 22: The United States’ new strategy in the Indo-Pacific region is designed to contain the development of China, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.
Washington’s new Indo-Pacific Strategy unveiled earlier this month names China as the main source of mounting challenges in the region. “This is a clear signal of curbing China’s development,” Wang said in a telephone conversation with US State Secretary Antony Blinken.
Additionally, the diplomat noted that Washington’s desire to contain China’s development by using Taiwan is a mistake. “Some US officials advocate a long-term, bitter competition with China that is likely to escalate into a full-scale confrontation between China and the US,” the minister said.
