G7 Summit urged to discuss US economic bullying

The Group of Seven, instead of focusing on China's so-called "economic coercion", should discuss the United States' economic bullying at its upcoming summit, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Friday.

Wang made the remark at a regular news conference after Bloomberg reported that G7 nations aim to send a signal to China this month by announcing a joint effort to counter so-called "economic coercion". The G7 Summit will open in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 19.

"If any country should be criticized for economic coercion, it should be the US," Wang said.
