'China has no intention in launching any new Cold War,' Wang Yi said.
As Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi began his first European post-pandemic tour in Italy on Tuesday, he made one key message clear: Do not get dragged into whatever “new Cold War” the US tries to promote.
“On the so-called new Cold War … China has no intention in launching any new Cold War. We are resolutely opposed to any promotion of a new Cold War,” Wang said. Chinese state media steps up attacks on ‘fact-twisting’ Mike Pompeo“This shows the significance of Italy in China’s diplomatic relations,” Wang said. “This also shows our high degree of attention on China-Europe relations.”
Italy has not banned Huawei, but its biggest telecoms operator, TIM, has ruled out using Huawei in its core, most sensitive operations. Beijing is trying to avoid a total ban of Huawei, which Washington has asked Rome to impose. “The United States is our main ally. We share a great deal with the United States, both in terms of trade and values,” he said then. “The [Belt and Road] can offer new business opportunities to the ‘Made in Italy’.”
