BEIJING - China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday that the nation's controversial new law allowing its coast guard to use weapons in waters it claims does "not target any specific country," while voicing hope for further improvement in relations with Japan.
"China and Japan can always engage in dialogue and communication to enhance understanding and build trust," said Wang, who is also a state councilor. But the foreign minister was mum about whether Beijing and Tokyo have been preparing for Chinese President Xi Jinping's first state visit to Japan since he became president in 2013. The planned trip has been delayed from April last year amid the virus outbreak.

"For a long time, the United States has arbitrarily meddled in the internal affairs of other countries under the banner of so-called democracy and human rights and has caused many troubles in the world," Wang said.
China on Thursday pledged to review the electoral system in Hong Kong, probably dealing a crushing blow to the aspirations among many Hong Kong residents for democracy, freedom and human rights there.
