The Group of Seven (G7) singled out China on issues including Taiwan; non-market policies; malign business and cyber practices (such as illegitimate technology transfer, or data disclosure / human rights abuses), which naturally underscores the wide-ranging tensions between Beijing and the group of major industrialized democracies. Beijing has responded in a fiery way, with Chinese state media berating the outcome of the meeting, singling out Japan, Great Britain, and the United States in their rhetoric.

The group has also issued a separate and way more damning communique on Russia, and among other things stated that the G7 countries will deprive Russia of technologies, industrial equipment, and services that serve its war machine. Russia, a close ally of China that was also called out in the G7 statement over its war in Ukraine, said the summit was an “incubator” for anti-Russian and anti-Chinese hysteria, and stated the G7 countries are on a path of dangerous escalation.
