June 16, 2024, 12:15 amThe Group of Seven on Saturday called out Beijing for its “increasing use” of dangerous maneuvers and water cannons against Filipino vessels as new Chinese coast guard rules allowing it to detain “trespassers” in the South China Sea took effect yesterday.
“We continue opposing China’s dangerous use of coast guard and maritime militia in the South China Sea and its repeated obstruction of countries’ high seas freedom of navigation,” they said in the statement. The G7 leaders reaffirmed their rejection of China’s maritime claims beyond the zones specified by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, citing the 2016 arbitral ruling that invalidated Beijing’s massive nine-dash-line claim over the SCS, including areas within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
The G7 represents the world’s leading industrialized democracies – Canada, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
