State-backed Chinese mouthpiece Global Times on Monday called the G7 an “anti-China workshop”. Earlier, China’s Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned the Japanese ambassador to register protests over “hype around China-related issues” at the G7 summit. Sun said Japan collaborated with the other coutries at the G7 summit “in activities and joint declarations to smear and attack China”. The G7 who met in Hiroshima expressed serious concerns about rising tensions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea as well as voicing concerns about the human rights situations in China, including in Tibet and Xinjiang.
