China urges the G7 to stop ‘inciting confrontation’. The G7 foreign ministers’ remarks on China deeply infuriated China, which asked the group to cease encouraging conflict, according to a statement released by China’s embassy in Japan on Thursday.

The major demand made over the two days of the G7 foreign minister conference in Tokyo on Wednesday was for humanitarian pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to permit the entry of assistance and facilitate the release of captives.

In a joint statement, the G7 countries also asked China to rectify its non-market policies, refrain from supporting Russia in its conflict with Ukraine, maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and provide Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy.

The embassy declared, “China will resolutely counter any smear campaigns from external forces,” and it also strongly objected to other nations’ plans to limit China’s influence over Taiwan.

The democratically elected president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, declared that she will keep collaborating with the other G7 countries to create an open and free Indo-Pacific region.

Beijing has always been offended by criticism of Taiwan and Hong Kong because it sees them as foreign meddling in its internal affairs. The most delicate subject is Taiwan, which China considers to be part of its territory and has a democratic government. Taiwan disputes Beijing’s assertion.

Additionally, a number of Western countries have consistently urged Beijing to strengthen the defense of Hong Kong’s democratic values, liberties, and autonomy, which they claim have been undermined by the enactment of national security legislation in 2020.

In 1997, Hong Kong was handed back from British to Chinese control, with the understanding that its liberties would be safeguarded for a minimum of fifty years under the “one country, two systems” model.
