G7 Summit Published a joint statement Criticising China and Supporting Taiwan’s Participation in the World Health Forum

Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Member States of the Group of Seven Industrial Countries (G7) announced a joint statement after the meeting on 3 May in England London. In the context of discussing the affairs of various countries, most paragraphs talked about China, concerning the destruction of Hong Kong’s electoral system and the violation of human rights in Xinjiang. In addition, the statement also mentioned the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, etc., which requires relevant countries to act under international rules. Besides, the statement also mentioned supporting Taiwan to participate in World Health Forum, believing that each country can be benefited from Taiwan’s successful anti-epidemic experience.

The statement described China as a “major power”, and encouraged China to follow the international rules. The 15th paragraph mentioned Hong Kong, concerning China’s damage to the democratic elements in Hong Kong’s electoral system, and demanded that the Chinese and Hong Kong regimes stopped targeting people who fight for human rights, freedom, and democracy.
