The G-7 countries emphasize collective action against China

 US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with the G-7 countries and other allies and stressed unity and coordination in the non-engagement strategy against China.

 US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with representatives of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union during the conference on the dismantling of Ukraine held in London on June 21. During the meeting, all parties jointly noted that close cooperation on China is very important, emphasizing unity and coordination in the strategy against China. During the meeting, it was noted that he also stressed the importance of supporting Ukraine against the brutal Russian war. He also extensively reviewed Blinken's recent visit to China and his meetings with Xi Jinping.

"We will not break off relations , we will avoid risks"

The EU representatives noted that China is a trading partner in certain sectors, as well as an economic and strategic competitor, and the EU is considering resuming its policy towards China, and recognizes the importance of coordination with the United States on this issue. On the other hand, the US side stated that the positions of the EU and the United States on China are increasingly converging, but both sides will try not to break off relations with China, while at the same time trying to avoid possible risks. The US president described Xi as a " dictator."

Blinken's meeting with G7 and EU representatives took place a day after US President Joe Biden called genocidal Xi Jinping a" dictator " at an event.

The Chinese side protested, saying: "Biden's speech is an absurd and very obvious political provocation ."
