Japan hopes G7 leaders will show 'strong' resolve to defend international order

also plans to lead discussions to promote "realistic and practical" efforts on nuclear disarmament.

Is that "realistic and practical" efforts that don't simply include signing up to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, that entered into force on 22 January 2021. A stance that gets Japan included among Nuclear-weapon endorsers.

That photo that being used for PR is always nice but when real situation emerge it require more than pose that being use in that photo. Every situation always require personnel to adapt quickly.

Another Japanese media story about something that hasn't happened. How about Kyodo waits to see what the delegates actually say and do and then report on that as "news"?

That problem with this approach of producing a barrage of stories in the weeks before an event is that a) the public will be given the impression that the journalists' speculation is actually what happened. B) by the time a big event takes place, the public will be tired of hearing about it and thus pay less attention to it.

That picture looks hysterical

their "strong determination" to defend the international rules-based order during their summit starting next week

These G7 goals have as much alignment with the welfare of the citizens of these nations as the costume play in the picture above contributes to the safety and well-being of the residents of Japan.

I hope Tokyo police realizes that Segway is now owned by a Chinese firm so all its data is being sent back to China...

That picture looks hysterical

agree

""Strengthening ties with emerging and developing countries known collectively as the "Global South" -- such as by addressing concerns over food and energy security, ""

For so many years as far as I can remember the west and the so called G7 have ignored the cries and sufferings of the third world and pushed on with their agendas of wars starvation and abuse of the the people and the land, now that China reached out to these nations and soaked them with goods, food, loans, and debts we think we can just turn the page and ask them to forget.

Tooooo Late, people just don't forget that easy.

Should read...

Japan hopes G7 leaders will show 'strong' resolve to defend US hegemony.

I just wonder why police show their billy clubs before people. Are dangerous people there? Police usually will not show it in streets, anywhere without any danger.

I am no supporter of the US, UK, Japan, G7 or capitalism or imperialism - they are all contributing to the disaster unfolding on this planet and to the subversion of the human spirit - but I still cannot be persuaded to support China and Russia or any other totalitarian replacement.

"global order" equals to US imposed "rules" and US interests?

got it.

READ BETWEEN LINES.

G7 realizes that loosing its ground and influence around the world.

dedolarization of trade,BRICS,mutual trade agreements when parties are using other currencies than USD or EURO.just to mention a few.

Oh boy, nothing gets the apologists excited more than a reference to "international order".

dedolarization of trade,BRICS,mutual trade agreements when parties are using other currencies than USD or EURO.just to mention a few.

Dollar is 60% of world currency reserves, where it has been for decades. Dedollarization continues to be a fantasy of the autocracy supporters.

Please, it’s losing, not loosing.

TaiwanIsNotChina

you may be frozen in past.

fantasy is in your mind.

better to wake up and check reality around you.

dont be surprised that reality is a bit different than you think.

I would pay for photo, with the look on that police officer face giving chase to assailant, perched on Segway then to bolt down an escalator.

Just a thought.

How do cops walking around and airport looking like idiots achieve this

EXACTLY!!

I think there are far to many vested interests, economic agendas, threats to established supply chain, energy dependence to secure agreement.

The Government of China has and will continue to be free to fan the flames of disunity, dissension and discord.

international rules-based order

USA domination

G7, losing to BRICS. Belt and Road.

just because kishida grew up in USA, doesn’t mean 125million citizens have to follow his cult.

My food costs 16% more this week.

The US can start by ratifying the unclos

That is what the US wants the others to follow right?

Yes, countries should follow their obligations and not worry about the US.

Yes, countries should follow their obligations and not worry about the US.

Nonsensical answers as usual lol

If thinking the AIIB and the NDB is a fantasy then why the fuss ?

Literally what?

Uncomfortable for those brazen arrogant swaggering types that think the USA is the most powerful nation on earth.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts you.

The US is number 1 when it comes to not respecting international order.

And you say not worry about the US?

US hegemonic rules based order.

The Government of China has and will continue to be free to fan the flames of disunity, dissension and discord.

That's what the US does, fan the flames, and if there aren't any yet, create it

@mark, I disagree with you, I know dam well that the UK government and it's citizens have given, donated, millions and millions of pounds to indian, Africa, and loads of other countries, this financial and humanitarian aid has been shipped out on a regular basis so it's not a one off, we've supported loads of countries, for many years, wether if there has been a political agenda, I don't know. At the moment we are taking in thousands of refugees from lots of other countries, including Ukraine refugees, the UK residents have opened up there homes to these war torn people.

The COVID part of the following quoted statement from the article ought to be interpreted as simply "China": "The international community is now at a historic inflection point, having experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and being faced with Russia's aggression against Ukraine..." Before discussing forward-looking policy to thwart China's aggressive ambitions, the world should hold China to task for doing all the wrong things at the beginning of the disaster in Wuhan in 2019/2020, and from there probe into the ultimate/ulterior motives behind China's bat-based COVID research program.

Great summation.

Rules. treaties, international, simply trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect.

There cannot be regimes that cheat in an attempt to dominate, disrespect treaty law.

America is in a constant decline, she is very worrying her global status as her own domestic problems looming. Some was caused by Trump, some by Biden and many by previous administrations. The so called "International Order" was a phony one, they are protecting their privileges has owned!

Stock market up. Inflation down. Dollar strong. Pax Americana continues.

Japan is poised to showcase with other Group of Seven advanced nations their "strong determination" to defend the international rules-based order during their summit starting next week

Does this mean Japan will tell the USA to finally ratify the UNCLOS?

China still in violation, despite your non-sequitur.

Nah, the US will just continue to spit on the face of the other g7 members. Telling everyone to follow unclos but not ratifying it itself

Nah, the US will just continue to spit on the face of the other g7 members. Telling everyone to follow unclos but not ratifying it itself

The rest of G7 doesn't claim seas that clearly don't belong to them so still China spitting.

Yup China is spitting on the US because the US is telling China to follow rules that the US itself does not follow

Yup China is spitting on the US because the US is telling China to follow rules that the US itself does not follow

It's in the darn treaty China signed and also what would follow from common decency.

Duh

Excuse me? if you could understand, you'd realize I was referring to OTHER 494 companies in S&P 500 index. Index without Top 6 Companies, (3%).

What kind of bizzaro logic is that? You don't remove countries from an index just to not prove a point.

China growing many times faster GDP,

It's called exiting lockdown and China still has 3.5x times to go before it reaches the US. It probably won't get there.

It's in the darn treaty China signed and also what would follow from common decency.

Hahahaha now you want to talk about decency

Chinese Yuan good!

Nobody wants an ACTUAL manipulated currency.

Japan is poised to showcase with other Group of Seven advanced nations their "strong determination" to defend the international rules-based order during their summit starting next week

So the USA is finally ready to ratify and defend the UNCLOS?

The strongest navy not following the rules based order of the sea is scary

How many countries are in UNCLOS?

Japan is poised to showcase with other Group of Seven advanced nations their "strong determination" to defend the international rules-based order

Which order are they talking about? Who went again to invade a souverain country, Irak, based on fabricated stories and lies all by the way supported by the US puppy Japan which ended literally in the complete destabilization of several countries in the region, the development of terror and international terrorism and of course the death of hundred of thousand of people?

Nice posed picture.

EXACTLY!!

God! At least there are two of us, Aly.

I’m sure any would be troublemakers will be quaking in their boots after seeing the above photo. Don’t half see some queer things over here don’t we.

This "rules-based order" they bark about is a forked tongued code word that translates as "one set of rules for the US and it's accomplices, another set of rules for everyone else".

Who went again to invade a souverain country

Russia and they did it for territory which is even worse.

They pay lip service to it, but as the Twitter Files, Assange, Snowden and the like have shown, they don't like free speech when it disagrees with their agenda.

1) Nobody cares about your Twitter Files

2) Assange should have been charged just with conspiracy to commit espionage. I don't know why there are publication charges in there as well, but the conspiracy charges should have been enough.

3) Snowden is a clear case of espionage

"Russian thefts in the 20th and 21st centuries are STILL unreturned."

As I said, Russian crime is nothing as compared to the stealing of the 2 continents and the extermination of almost all the peoples in the 2 continents by the Fascist 7 group members.

South America and Africa have almost zero remaining colonies on them and aren't devoid of people. Also, if the entire west is Fascist, you are going to have to a lot deeper than just 7 countries. Try 33 countries of the OECD.

France, with the largest EEZ in the world certainly isn't complaining. Sometimes imperialism works, I guess. Go UNCLOS, Go!

The rest of G7 doesn't claim seas that clearly don't belong to them so still China spitting.

And of course, the US of A is a close second with largest EEZ.

Why are they on patrol with batons drawn?

It looks weird to me

France, with the largest EEZ in the world certainly isn't complaining. Sometimes imperialism works, I guess.

Unfortunately for China, the South China Sea offers no habitable islands other than the ones with countries on them. They'll have to go to their untrained dog Russia for resources.

Go UNCLOS, Go!

Tell that to Peking.

Not sure. But I think the Police in the above picture is suppose to depict a scary intimidating authority presence at the airport? Not sure, but it's possible.

Any other opinions?

US hegemony is gone for good...this is just another evidence and piece of puzzle.

This "rules-based order" they bark about is a forked tongued code word that translates as "one set of rules for the US and it's accomplices, another set of rules for everyone else".

Well maybe the US can at least sign the ICC treaty to show its commitment to the rulebased order

It is refreshing really, For someone in the 21st century to embrace the spoils of European and American imperialism from centuries ago.

Of course Taiwan/ROC claim all those island you say that do not exist. Taiwan might not be China but they both claim much of the South China Sea. 對不對?

well, that can't include China

The US is losing and no doubt will start a war to try and recover their losses!

So many backers of failed autocracies on these articles.

Stock market up!

Inflation down!

Not at war!

Pax Americana continues!

Japan has it exactly right, a rules-based order is important to defend against the growing number of autocracies in the world. Democracy and a rules-based international order is the only way to a mutually prosperous future for the world.
