**Interview with Dr. Emily Chen, International Relations Expert**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Chen. Recently, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the importance of the United States playing a ”constructive and responsible role” in addressing global issues. What does this mean for U.S.-China relations?
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me. Wang Yi’s statement reflects a growing recognition that both the U.S. and China have pivotal roles in navigating international crises. His call for the U.S. to engage politically suggests a desire for cooperation rather than confrontation, which is crucial for stability in global politics.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned stability. What specific “hot international issues” do you think Wang Yi was referring to, and how can the U.S. contribute to resolving them?
**Dr. Chen:** He could be referencing several situations, such as tensions in the South China Sea, trade disputes, or conflicts in regions like the Middle East. The U.S. can contribute by facilitating dialogue and encouraging diplomacy. Collaborative approaches often yield better results than unilateral actions, which can further inflame tensions.
**Interviewer:** How do you see this approach influencing the broader international community’s response to crises?
**Dr. Chen:** If the U.S. adopts a more diplomatic stance, it could galvanize other nations to follow suit. This could lead to more coordinated efforts in tackling international challenges, reinforcing alliances and promoting global peace. However, it’s crucial for all parties to remain committed to dialogue.
**Interviewer:** In your opinion, what challenges might the U.S. face in this diplomatic engagement with China?
**Dr. Chen:** One of the primary challenges is overcoming mutual distrust. Decades of rivalry and competition have created a complex relationship. Additionally, domestic pressures in both countries may complicate attempts at cooperation. There needs to be a willingness to prioritize long-term stability over short-term political gains.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Chen, for your insights on this important topic. It will be interesting to see how U.S. and Chinese leaders respond to these calls for diplomacy in the coming months.
**Dr. Chen:** My pleasure. I look forward to seeing how these developments unfold.
