China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged countries to look beyond zero-sum thinking and resolve disputes through dialog, as he signed a convention to set up a global mediation organization in Hong Kong.

Speaking Friday on his first visit to the financial hub in three years, Wang highlighted the city’s return to Chinese rule as a successful example of solving an international dispute using peaceful means.
