China will boycott the next week's tourism working group meeting of G20 members in Jammu and Kashmir. It said that it will not attend any meetings in 'disputed territory'.

China will not attend the G20 meeting scheduled to be held in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar from Monday (May 22) citing 'disputed territory as a reason. In a press conference on Friday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that Beijing will give the G20 meet in Srinagar a miss and will not attend any such meetings on the 'disputed territory' of Jammu and Kashmir. The response came to a question from a media person on the reports that China will boycott the next week's G20 meeting on tourism.

Responding to the question, Wang Wenbin said, "China firmly opposes holding any form of G20 meetings on disputed territory. We will not attend such meetings."

J&K will witness the tourism working group meeting of G20 members from May 22-24 ahead of a G20 summit in New Delhi in September this year.

G7 Summit Communiqué To Stress On 'De-Risking' Rather Than 'Decoupling' From China

On the reports that this year’s G7 summit communiqué will stress on “de-risking” rather than “decoupling” from China, Wang said that before talking about “de-risking”, one must know what the risks are and where they come from.

Taking a veiled jibe at the United States, he said, "The biggest risks facing the world today are: the hegemonic act of using military advantage to launch barbaric invasions of vulnerable countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, the bullying act of undermining the principle of market economy and international trade rules by overstretching the concept of national security and wantonly going after foreign companies, and trying to turn back the wheel of history by hyping up “democracy versus authoritarianism” narratives and dragging the world back to the era of the Cold War. Clearly, none of these risks come from China. They all come from a handful of countries that have sought to pin various labels on China."

"China is committed to the path of peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening-up. Over the past decade, China accounted for more world economic growth on an annual, average basis than G7 members combined. China brings to the world opportunities, stability and assurance, not challenges, turmoil and risks," Wang further said.
