KARUIZAWA, Japan – Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven group of wealthy nations will likely discuss their “common and concerted” approach to China when they meet from Sunday, reflecting shared concern about Beijing’s actions, a senior US State Department official said.
Japan, the only Asian member of the grouping, has deepening worries about China’s growing might in the Asia-Pacific and is particularly concerned about any military action against Taiwan.Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has said only the island’s people can decide their future. “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.Both sides expressed a desire to deepen their ties, as Washington seeks to solidify alliances to counter China.
Recent G-7 statements have included calls for candid and constructive engagement with Beijing while recognising that “individually all the G-7 members have deep economic relationships” with the world’s second-largest economy.“As democracies, we are successful in systemic competition with autocratic forces when our partners and friends around the world have confidence in us.
