China backs EAM Jaishankar’s ‘Asian century’ remark

Asked for his reaction to Jaishankar’s comments, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told journalists here that “as a Chinese leader put it, ‘unless China and India are developed, there will be no Asian Century. No genuine Asia-Pacific century or Asian century can come until China, India and other neighbouring countries are developed’.”
