The G7 major industrialised nations are increasingly aligned on the “economic and security risk” posed by China and the policies it is pursuing, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday at the conclusion of a foreign ministers meeting.

In comments at his last meeting as Washington’s top diplomat, Blinken praised the group’s accomplishments and called for a continuation of the partners’ strategy, which is expected to weaken under president-elect Donald Trump, who takes office on January 20.
