Chinese govt protests ‘anti-China’ sentiment at G7 summit
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addresses a media conference, ahead of the G-7 summit, at EU headquarters in Brussels, May 15, 2023. Leaders of the Group of Seven advanced economies are generally united in voicing concern about China. The question is how to translate that worry into action.
Beijing is not happy. As the G7 meeting in Hiroshima, Japan, wrapped up, the Chinese government is protesting what it sees as the “anti-China” tenor of the summit. Also, the Biden administration says it will support an effort to train Ukrainian pilots learning how to operate F-16 warplanes. Plus, Angelique Kidjo, the musician and activist from Benin, is one of three recipients at this year’s Polar Prize for music in Stockholm. She takes her responsibility seriously “for our world to be a better place.”
