China's top diplomat has launched a direct rebuttal to US President Donald Trump's foreign policy, slamming Washington's approach as a failure that neither tamed Beijing nor made America great again.

Even as its economy slows, China aims to fill the void on the world stage as President Donald Trump upends America’s trade alliances and erodes U.S. prestige.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on the United States to make concessions over the imposition of additional tariffs on Chinese products.

The leaders of both Canada and Mexico got on the phone with President Donald Trump this past week to seek solutions after he slapped tariffs on their countries, but China’s president appears unlikely to make a similar call soon.

China believes that friends should be permanent and we should pursue common interests, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday.

When Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi faced the world's media on Friday, he sought to drive home one key message: that in today's turbulent world, China is a stabilising force and ready to defend world peace.

China's top foreign policy official addressed the escalating trade war with the U.S. and promoted China as an "anchor" on the global stage as America retreats from international involvement.
