The Group of Seven, which includes the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France and Japan, is committed to combating China’s growing influence in the world and decided yesterday, in Cornwall, where the leaders of these countries are meeting, to launch a grand plan to build infrastructure in developing countries, specifically in Latin America and the region Caribbean, Africa, Indian Ocean and Pacific, to combat what China is already doing with the so-called China New Road.
This attack to address China’s growing influence in the world received a response today from a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in London: “The days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone.” “We have always believed that countries, small or large, strong or weak, poor or rich, should be managed in consultation with all countries,” the spokesman added.
Tomorrow, US President Joe Biden will meet with European Union leaders and is expected to try to persuade European allies to toughen their stance on China.
