On February 14, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a speech and answered questions at the "China Session." When asked about Chinas role in resolving regional conflicts, particularly the Ukraine issue, Wang Yi stated that Chinas position is clear: all regional hotspots should seek political solutions through dialogue and consultation, and the same applies to the Ukraine issue. However, China is not a party to the conflict, and the decision-making power is not in Chinas hands. What we can do is to promote peace talks. We have dispatched special envoys to mediate and, through various channels, emphasized to all parties that a ceasefire should be implemented as soon as possible, and that everyone should return to the negotiating table.On February 14, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference, delivered a speech at the "China Session," and answered questions from the audience. Wang Yi emphasized that the erroneous remarks by Japanese leaders on the Taiwan issue exposed Japans undying ambition to invade and colonize Taiwan and the lingering specter of reviving militarism. Japan launched its invasion of China and attacked Pearl Harbor under the pretext of a so-called "crisis and existential crisis." The lessons of history are still fresh and must be heeded. If Japan does not repent, it will inevitably repeat the same mistakes. Good people should be vigilant. First and foremost, the Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded and coerced by far-right forces and extremist ideologies again. All peace-loving countries should also warn Japan: if it chooses to go back to its old ways, it will only lead to its own destruction.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We and our partners will use all policy tools at our disposal to continue to hold Russia accountable.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We further express our concern that Russia has not destroyed all of its chemical weapons.The United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands issued a joint statement regarding the death of Alexei Navalny.

Despite growing chances of BOE-BOJ policy divergence, the GBP/JPY exchange rate is falling toward 162.00

The pound to yen exchange rate has given up the key support level of 162.20 during the Asian session and is now slowly descending toward the 162.00 level. Since breaking down below the consolidation range formed between 162.80-164.47, the asset has been trending downwards. The cross has been trending downwards despite growing expectations of further growth in policy divergence between the Bank of England (BOE) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ).

 

British households are facing headwinds due to price pressures inside the British economy. The latter is obligatory in order to provide dividends that are adjusted for inflation and yield a net gain of one cent per year. The current state of the labor market, GDP forecasts, and energy costs all argue against a rate hike by the BOE. Although unpleasant, the Governor of the Bank of England (BOE) must bite the bullet and announce a rate increase of 50 basis points (bps).

 

Some of Liz Truss's economic measures, such as her announcement of a reduction in tax brackets, an energy and electricity cost ceiling, and a trade pact with the United States, look to be beneficial to the economy. The pound bulls aren't getting stronger despite this.

 

As a result of the BOJ's reluctance to intervene in the currency market, the Japanese yen has risen on the Tokyo financial scene. It has been reported by Bloomberg news wires that Japan's former vice foreign minister, Tatsuo Yamasaki, has said that the Japanese government is prepared to intervene in the currency markets at any time. The yen doesn't need America's blessing, he said, so the government won't be changing it.

 

Given the continued need to monitor the economy's growth prospects and inflation drivers, it is expected that the BOJ would maintain a "neutral" stance on monetary policy. The policy gap between the BOE and BOJ will widen as a result.
