China is front and centre as G7 ministers are likely to discuss ‘common and concerted’ approach
have highlighted potential differences between Europe and the United States on China. In interviews after he visited China this month, Mr Macron cautioned against being drawn into a crisis over Taiwan driven by an “American rhythm and a Chinese overreaction”.
“There is collective concern about a number of the actions that China is taking,” the US official told reporters on the plane to Japan from Vietnam, declining to be identified because of the sensitivity of the information. There would likely be a discussion on how the members could continue to take a “common and concerted approach,” to China, the official said.
German minister for foreign affairs Annalena Baerbock sought to underscore the unity among G7 members.“As democracies, we are successful in systemic competition with autocratic forces when our partners and friends around the world have confidence in us. We must avoid that our unity is misunderstood by others as separation or that new rifts are opened,” she said in a statement before her trip to Japan.
