Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned that the West would make a big mistake if it pursued decoupling with China to reduce risks, Xinhua News Agency, Korean Central News Agency, and AFP reported on the 18th. reported.

According to Meche, Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the Munich Security Conference held in Germany on the 17th (local time) and gave a keynote speech, saying, “Anyone who attempts to separate from China in the name of eliminating risks will commit a historical mistake.”

Foreign Minister Wang's remarks appear to be a strong check on the United States and the European Union's (EU) calls throughout last year to reduce dependence on China.

During a separate meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken on the 16th, Foreign Minister Wang argued that turning the risk of de-China into de-China and seeking decoupling with China will only have adverse effects on the United States itself.

Last month, the European Commission announced a plan to expand regional economic security by closely monitoring foreign investment in competitors such as China and strengthening cooperation in controlling technology leaks and exports.

These measures focus on reducing the EU's economic dependence on China, which has close ties with Russia.
