China's Foreign Minister Criticizes US Perception

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi criticized the U.S. for maintaining erroneous perceptions of China and failing to fulfill promises made since the Biden-Xi summit, while urging the U.S. to understand China's development and engage pragmatically. He also emphasized the need for human control over artificial intelligence and announced an expansion of China's visa-free travel scheme. Tensions between the two superpowers have slightly eased, but remain in an uneasy detente, with ongoing geopolitical confrontations on multiple fronts.
