G7 ministers back Ukraine support; suspicious of China

Those face are clueless, those countries desperate need energy and raw material from outside G7 Countries themselves. Also they need to have China economy to get growth so they can jump in.

So far only German from those countries that openly admit that they really need China

So, "shame on China" for their human rights abuses, threatening Taiwan and implicit support of Russia, but "gosh, we love your cheap labor"

Those face are clueless

Yeah right. They've more a lot more "clues" than Putin and his ever-worsening Ukraine disaster and more "clues" than China, which at any given time keeps 100s of millions of its population under lock-down house arrest whenever someone gets a cough and a stuffy nose.

Also they need to have China economy to get growth so they can jump in

Really? Japan barely grew before covid, when an energetic China was "the factory of the world" and the center point of the global supply chain. As for the US, its priority is not growth but to get inflation down as it tries to cool off a hot economy.

Meanwhile, more multinationals like Apple say they are increasingly moving out of China -- for the sake of their future growth. The future sure ain't bright for the BRICs!

China has not said a single word about Russia's War on Ukraine started on 24th February, 2022. China is neutral. 100% neutral. Why should G-7 suspect China ? G-7 misses no opportunity to accuse China. Americans

are always pointing a finger at China about Chinese treatment of the Uhgurs in Xinchiang. Easily forgotten is their horrifying treatment of Blacks for 4 hundred years, buying and selling them like animals, using them for slave labour, lynching to kill them at every opportunity and, today, Blacks are treated poorly, badly or, worse than badly in the U.S.A.

“President (Vladimir) Putin bet that we wouldn’t back up our words with actions. We proved him wrong,” Blinken said, adding that G7 sanctions and export controls have “directly impacted Putin’s ability to wage war."

I’ll remember that as Russian oil and gas keep my family warm in Japan while my friends and family in Europe are trying to keep warm

G7 should be renamed as the White Mans Club.

I will agree that G7 still has as much of an influence as they used to if their plan of putting a price cap on Russian oil succeeds.

It’s ridiculous that they can come up unilaterally with a plan to impose a price cap without consulting with the major buyers of Russian oil - China and India. Almost as if they expect these 2 countries to roll over and comply just like back in the colonial era.

And these entitled nations forgot that an attempted price cap on Russian oil was akin to setting up a buyers cartel, which rubbed OPEC the sellers cartel off the wrong way. 

So there you have it, even OPEC nations see the writing on the wall that G7 doesn’t have as much influence as they used to.

more multinationals like Apple say they are increasingly moving out of China

Moving out of China to where? Countries like India which is also a part of BRICS.

Or to other nations like Vietnam or maybe Indonesia or Thailand which have abundant cheap labour.

With the strong USD which will strengthen further, it makes even more sense for companies to manufacture abroad and export to the US. Those manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the US, unless US consumers agree to pay more for basic stuff.

The future sure doesn’t look as bright for the G7 either.

G7 group of USA sheep.

You mean G7 except Japan, who backs Russia in gas projects and other business matters.

They should be sanctioning Ukraine and trading with China. Win win.

G7 ministers back Ukraine support; suspicious of China:

G7 has been a US product. Of course, the members are forever suspicious of China's "increasing assertiveness".

They can say that again to the world, louder & louder, as if most countries are not aware of the origin of aggression..

They are scared of US sanctions. At least we will still buy Russian gas this winter.

Much more likely your warmth comes from Australian LNG 39% and coal 60%.

Russia supplies only 5% of Japan's oil and 9% of Japans LNG.

Japan could easily stop all imports from Russia and face no hardship at all.

"Japan gets most of its primary energy needs from crude oil, more than 90% of which comes from the Middle East, based on government data. LNG comprises about 24% of the total energy mix. But LNG takes up a bigger piece of the pie when it comes to electricity production, at 36%.9" Mar 2022

Yes! China is supporting Russia over their war in Ukraine. And North Korea, Iran and Pakistan were countries strongly supported by China. The People's Republic of China 8s very aggressive over many issues not just the South China Sea, the space exploration and of course: The Unification of Taiwan, the demise and downfall of America is inevitable and will worsening after the useless Biden administration. "Imperial China" aka The Manchurian Empire was the world dominance power before the British colonialism arrived China by 1839, the Opium war. Time has changed, we are determined getting that No.1 status back. America is stupid enough to engage a relationship with us!

"Imperial China" aka The Manchurian Empire was the world dominance power before the British colonialism arrived China by 1839, the Opium war.

If what you say is true then the world would have been speaking your funny language today. If you are done with your daily dose of opium then come back to reality.

Many Chinese today are partly descendants of Mongols because Genghis Khan and his hordes raped your ancestors during the medieval times so by your logic Mongolia was the real dominant power during the medieval age.
