My Take
Wang Yi is a man who always seems to stand at the very center of the world stage. Born in Beijing and trained in Japanese at Beijing International Studies University, he climbed the diplomatic ladder with language as his weapon, which makes him feel oddly close to me as a Japanese reader. Whatever one thinks of his politics, the sheer nerve required to represent China's interests across decades of high-stakes negotiation is undeniable. I find the pressure of being a nation's public face for so long almost unimaginable. How history will judge him remains open, and I intend to watch quietly.
