China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has issued a powerful call for stronger global governance and genuine multilateral cooperation, warning against what he described as “withdrawals from international organisations” and the rise of “exclusive blocs.” Speaking at the Lanting Forum in Beijing, Wang declared that “a multipolar world is on its way,” signalling China’s vision of a world order no longer dominated by one power. The remarks come just days before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, where U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet for crucial trade negotiations. Could this be a turning point for U.S.-China relations, and the balance of global power?
