The G7 summit in France concluded without a consensus on addressing concerns regarding China’s economic practices. Despite initial hopes for a united front, disagreements among member nations, particularly with the United States, hindered progress. Key issues included alleged Chinese overcapacity and currency manipulation contributing to increased exports to Europe. The summit was further complicated by ongoing geopolitical tensions in Iran and Ukraine. Leaders failed to reach a public agreement on a coordinated response, reminiscent of calls for a new “Plaza Accord” to manage exchange rates. This lack of unity highlights the challenges in formulating a cohesive strategy to address China’s growing economic influence. The outcome suggests continued internal divisions within the G7 on how to engage with China.
