"G7 political tool to perpetuate US, Western supremacy": China
China has criticised the G7 Leaders' Communique, accusing the group of using China-related issues as a pretext to vilify and attack the nation.
In response to a media query on China's comment to G7 Leaders' Communique, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian denounced the G7's statements as baseless and biased, reflecting what Beijing views as a continued effort to perpetuate US and Western dominance in global affairs.
«The G7 Leaders' Communique again used China-related issues to vilify and attack China, resorting to the same old false accusations that have no factual, legal or moral basis and are filled with arrogance, bias and falsehood,» Lin Jian said, addressing the media.
China further criticised the G7's composition and relevance in today's global context. «The G7 does not represent the world. The seven countries only account for 10 per cent of the world's population; even combined, they contribute less than China to global economic growth,» Lin Jian asserted, highlighting what Beijing perceives as a declining influence of the group.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, the G7 has «long strayed from its original purpose of coordinating for stability in the global economic environment, and has increasingly become a political tool to perpetuate US and Western supremacy».
