Global Powers Struggle to Find Common Ground on China and Ukraine.

The G-7 foreign ministers emphasized the importance of unity against China's economic, military, and cyber assertiveness, following French President Emmanuel Macron's recent comments suggesting that Europe should avoid getting involved in a confrontation between China and the United States over Taiwan. The communique called for China to act as a responsible member of the international community and criticized its human rights violations and abuses in Xinjiang and Tibet. The G-7 also acknowledged the need to work with China on global challenges and areas of common interest, including climate change, biodiversity, global health security, and gender equality.
