The United States is inciting the G7 countries (in addition to the United States, the G7 includes Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada, France and Japan) to join forces against China in the event of economic pressure from Beijing, the Nikkei portal writes.
In particular, the US government and Congress are considering bills to increase duties on Chinese goods, which are designed to prevent “economic bullying.”
The US administration considers joint measures more effective than unilateral ones, based on the fact that many countries are heavily dependent on China economically, the portal notes. It is assumed that Beijing is likely to refrain from economic coercion if the countries unite.
Washington asked to include this issue on the agenda of the G7 meetings this year. According to the American side, if several countries can cover each other’s losses, this will help reduce the losses that they may suffer due to China’s actions.
