LONDON: China’s Embassy within the UK reacted sharply Monday to the Group of Seven’s post-summit assertion that referred to as out China’s “nonmarket insurance policies and human rights abuses.”

The embassy challenged the leaders of the world’s largest industrial nations for “distorted” remarks that “slandered China and arbitrarily interfered in China’s inner affairs.”

“This critical violation of the essential norms of worldwide relations uncovered the sinister intentions of some international locations, similar to the US,” an unnamed embassy spokesperson stated within the assertion.

“We’re strongly dissatisfied and firmly against this.”

The G-7 leaders agreed to name on Beijing to respect human rights in Xinjiang, the distant western area the place Chinese language authorities are accused of committing critical rights abuses in opposition to the Uyghur minority, and within the semi-autonomous metropolis of Hong Kong.

The assertion got here after a push by U.S. President Joe Biden, who needed to influence fellow democratic leaders to current a extra unified entrance in its relations with Beijing.
