(CNSNews.com) – China was “the dominant topic” when foreign ministers from the G7 met in London Tuesday for the first face-to-face meeting in two years, a focus that will only reinforce Beijing’s suspicion that the group of leading industrialized democracies is ganging up on it.
Adding to that perception is a decision by Britain – which holds the rotating presidency – to include India and Australia among a small group of invited participants from outside the group to attend the G7 meetings this year, including next month’s leaders’ summit.
