On July 24, 2021, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held the 3rd round of China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers' Strategic Dialogue with Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

In response to U.S. State Department spokesperson's comments made before the visit of U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman to China that the United States will deal with China from "a position of strength", Wang Yi said to journalists that the United States always wants to use its strength to pressure other countries and thinks it is superior. However, I must tell the United States clearly that there has never been and should never be a country superior to others in the world, and China will not accept such a claim by any country. If the United States has not learned to treat other countries equally, China and the international community have the obligation to help the United States make up for this lesson.
