TAIPEI--Along with fulminating against the United States, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi reasserted China’s South China Sea claims, blasted Japan for its past aggression and covered a wide range of other issues during his annual meeting with the press.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China will retaliate to the United States’ “arbitrary tariffs” and accused Washington of “meeting good with evil.”

No country should fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain a good relationship with China at the same time,” said Wang Yi.
