At a press conference during this year's two sessions, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi answered 21 questions from journalists from China and around the world.

NBC asked whether China would accept a so-called G2 format, proposed by some including Donald Trump. Wang Yi rejected it, saying China will never follow the old path of a strong country dominating others.

What other questions did Wang Yi answer? Here are the key takeaways.
- On Iran: China calls for ceasefire, de-escalation, and avoiding a wider war.
- On Gaza: The situation tests international justice. The UN must play its role.
- On China-US relations: Neither side can change the other, but we can adjust how we engage.
- On China-Japan relations: China warned Japanese politicians not to repeat the mistakes of history.

From this press conference, one thing is clear: in today's turbulent and uncertain world, China is expected to act as an anchor of stability and a stabilizing force.
