Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday that the real goal of the United States' Indo-Pacific strategy is to try to create a new version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the region in the near future.

Chinese Minister said at the annual press conference of his ministry held today, Monday, that the US strategy aims to maintain the hegemonic system of Washington.

He noted that the American hegemonic system undermines the structure of regional cooperation, which is based on cooperation within the framework of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)

Commenting on the situation in Ukraine, the Chinese Foreign Minister said that the issues of Ukraine and Taiwan are completely different and cannot be compared.

The minister considered that the main difference is that the Taiwan issue is an internal matter exclusively for China, as the island is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Ukrainian issue is a dispute between countries.
