GT Editorial: Ganging up at G7 against China, Russia a nightmare trip for US, West

BEIJING, May 5, Global Times - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a message during the three-day G7 foreign ministers' meeting: It is not the US' purpose to try to contain China or to hold China down, but to defend "the international rules based order." And issues over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the island of Taiwan are related to whether China is abiding by international rules.

As some foreign media outlets suggested, the theme of this G7 foreign ministers' meeting is to address the challenges posed by China and Russia.
