China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said decoupling with the US was “unfeasible and unreasonable” and called on Europe to resist “unilateral bullying”.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Hungarian counterpart on Monday that decoupling with the US was “unfeasible and unreasonable” and called on Europe to resist “unilateral bullying”.
In his first trip abroad since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, Wang is expected to appeal to European leaders to remain open to Chinese firms as the US ramps up pressure on tech and communications companies like TikTok and Huawei. Wang said China and Europe should not allow talk of decoupling to disturb the regular operation of global industrial chains, adding that the continent should push back against unilateral bullying in the economy.
Wang praised Hungary’s assertion that Huawei’s 5G network posed no national security threat. In early August, Washington issued sanctions against Huawei that analysts say may cripple the company, claiming the world’s leading 5G provider could be used by Beijing to spy on other countries.
