G7 aims to rein in risks from China, awaits Zelenskiy

Firstpost  

Leaders from the Group of Seven nations will outline steps on Saturday aimed at reducing risks from China while preserving economic ties, a day after they agreed to ramp up sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said G7 members were looking to “de-risk, not decouple” from China. Leaders of the world’s richest democracies are looking to bridge a vast gap with emerging economies in the “Global South” by focusing on infrastructure and debt relief, officials say, part of a strategy to blunt China’s influence in lower-income countries. Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida have discussed ways to strengthen defence cooperation and counter coercive behaviour by China, the White House said in a statement. China is gravely concerned about recent signs of “negative” China-related moves at the G7 summit and urges Japan not to turn it into a “political show” against or to curb China, the country’s embassy in Japan said.
