G7 seeks constructive ties with China while addressing global issues.

The G7 leaders have called for "constructive" ties with China while also criticizing Beijing's human rights record and territorial claims. The G7 does not seek to decouple from China but recognizes the need to "de-risk and diversify" economic relations. The leaders expressed concerns about China's claims in the East and South China Seas and its crackdowns on freedoms in Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang. The G7 also plans to launch a "Coordination Platform on Economic Coercion" to respond to economic coercion and promote cooperation with partners beyond the G7.
