Don’t Try To Be Like Westerners – China’s Top Diplomat
The Chinese Communist Party’s foreign policy chief has called on East Asians not to mimic Westerners, while making the case for improved regional integration at a three-way forum with Japan and South Korea.
“When Chinese, Japanese or Korean people travel to the US, the Americans can’t even tell us apart,” Wang Yi claimed. “If we go to Europe, the situation will certainly be the same.”
Wang argued that people from the Far East “cannot become” Europeans or Americans, “even if we dye our hair white or have surgery to straighten our noses,” according to a video from the event, shared by Chinese media. “We have to know our roots,” he added.
