Global Response Needed to Combat China's Economic Coercion: G7 Summit Focuses on Inclusiveness.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis has called for a united global response to China's economic coercion, citing his country's own diplomatic spat with the Asian giant over a Taiwan office. The G7 leaders' communique from Hiroshima is expected to highlight the importance of countering coercion without necessarily identifying China by name. Landsbergis believes that Beijing's pressure tactics are likely to continue and that a global response is necessary to repel them.
