The Chinese mainland has strongly criticized the recent G7 Leaders' Communique, labeling it as \"filled with arrogance, prejudice, and lies.\" Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made these remarks during a regular press briefing on Monday, addressing the G7's allegations concerning the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea, South China Sea, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Xizang.
Lin Jian accused the G7 of drifting away from its original mission of fostering global economic stability, instead turning into a political tool aimed at maintaining U.S. and Western dominance. He stated, \"The G7 has lost its ability to represent the world and its credibility among the international community.\"
The spokesperson criticized the G7 for creating divisions based on ideological differences, forming exclusive groups, and inciting bloc confrontations. He highlighted that the G7's actions, such as sending military vessels and aircraft into the Asia-Pacific region and arming Taiwan, are contributing to increased tensions and threatening peace in the Taiwan Strait.
Addressing the claim of \"Chinese overcapacity,\" Lin Jian dismissed it as baseless and an excuse for protectionism. He emphasized that such allegations undermine global efforts towards green and low-carbon transitions and hinder cooperation on climate responses.
Lin concluded by asserting that the G7 is responsible for economic coercion, politicizing trade, and reversing the interconnected nature of global interests. He warned that these actions are likely to backfire on the G7 itself.
