BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Diversity is the inherent nature of human society, and multipolarity is what the international landscape should look like, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Wang made the remarks while answering a question regarding China-U.S. relations at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the national legislature.

China and the United States undoubtedly have a significant impact on the world, yet there are more than 190 countries on this planet, Wang said. "The future of humanity has always been forged through the collective efforts of all nations."

"China will never take the beaten path of seeking hegemony as its strength grows, nor do we subscribe to the logic that the world can be run by major countries," Wang said, adding that China is committed to pursuing a path of peaceful development.

As for how the international landscape should evolve, China's proposal is to build an equal and orderly multipolar world, Wang said. "This should be the common responsibility of all countries."

With more resources and capabilities, major countries should be more generous, shoulder more responsibilities, and set an example of observing rules, honoring commitments and upholding international law, Wang said.

China will continue to play a constructive role in a changing world and work with all countries toward a multipolar world, he added.
