[G7 정상회의]
China opposes U.S. disclosure in time for G7 opening
Criticism of “the US brings suffering to developing countries”
US-China Trade Ministers Meet in Washington Next Week
On the 19th, when the G7 summit was held, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the United States by publishing an 8,500-word report titled, “The United States’ Blackmail Diplomacy and Its Harm.”
In the report, China directly mentioned Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, and Mexico, arguing that sanctions against these countries are representative examples of the US’ “diplomacy of intimidation.” He also added, “The attendance of the ‘Democracy Summit’ by countries around the world, sanctions by each country on Russia for invading Ukraine, and European countries’ sanctions on Iran are all due to threats from the United States.”
“There is a common opinion in the international community about who is threatening the world,” the report said. “The United States must treat its own chronic disease of intimidating diplomacy and restore a fair and reasonable international order to the world.” China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency reported the publication of the report on the same day, claiming that “the United States is the instigator of blackmail diplomacy, which is causing great suffering to developing countries around the world.”
Chinese state media set their eyes on the West by contrasting the China-Central Asia five-country summit (18th and 19th) and the Hiroshima G7 summit (19th to 21st) being held in Xi’an, the western province of Shaanxi. The Global Times, affiliated with the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, said in an editorial that day that the China-Central Asia Summit and the G7 Summit show what ‘true multilateralism’ is and what ‘fake multilateralism’ is, calling the former a ‘clear stream of multilateralism’. ‘, and the latter was expressed as ‘dirty water of geopolitics’ respectively.
Aside from China’s harsh criticism of the United States, high-level talks are expected to continue as the heads of trade between the United States and China have agreed to meet in Washington, the United States.
Liu Fengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the US, said in an online briefing on the 18th (local time) that China is “open to communication with the US at all levels” as long as mutual respect is premised. Reuters reported, citing sources, that Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, who is visiting the US to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade ministers’ meeting next week, will meet with Commerce Minister Lamondo from Washington. It is known that Wang will also meet separately with U.S. Trade Representative Catherine Tai at the APEC Trade Ministers’ Meeting on the 25th and 26th.
