Guo emphasized that "the greatest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait comes from 'Taiwan independence' separatists and foreign interference," urging the G7 to strictly adhere to the one-China principle. The comments follow the bloc's expression of concern about cross-strait stability during their summit discussions.
Maritime Disputes and Economic Pushback
Regarding East and South China Sea issues, Guo noted that regional stability "is being maintained through dialogue among concerned parties," while criticizing external forces for "driving wedges between neighbors." On trade, Beijing rejected claims of "harmful overcapacity," characterizing the criticism as protectionist attempts to contain China's development.
Global Implications
The spokesperson called on G7 nations to "abandon Cold War mentalities" and focus on collaborative solutions to global challenges. The exchange highlights growing tensions between Western economic powers and the world's second-largest economy as both sides vie for influence in Asia's rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
