Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, met with Graham Allison, a professor at Harvard University, in Beijing on Wednesday.



Wang said Chinese people value harmony without uniformity, which is fundamentally different from the Western zero-sum mindset. This perspective emphasizes achieving harmonious coexistence through the recognition of and respect for differences, ultimately fostering and strengthening common interests between nations.



China and the United States now need to construct a new narrative that can regulate future interactions between the two major powers, he noted.



Wang said that the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping provide essential guidance for China in handling affairs with the United States.



He expressed the hope that the U.S. side will work with China to address the fundamental issue of mutual perceptions, set the tone for the China-U.S. relationship, and to find the right way to coexist under the guidance of the three principles.
