Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi criticized those calling for a decoupling of the world’s biggest economies and said the interests of the U.S. and China remain “inseparable.”
“Some individuals vow to decouple our economies -- this is just their wishful thinking,” Wang said on Friday at a briefing during the annual National People’s Congress in Beijing. “Decoupling from China would mean decoupling from opportunities, from the future and in a sense even from the world.”
