中新网北京7月6日电(蒋鲤)随着为期三天的“七国集团”(G7)峰会结束,一场尴尬的政治表演也落下帷幕。这场表演,将七国集团的虚伪面目和霸权本质暴露得一览无遗。
是承诺,还是吹嘘?
在会后发布的联合公报中,七国领导人声称将“共同承担责任,与世界各地的合作伙伴一道,寻找应对全球挑战的解决方案”。他们提出了一项6000亿美元基础设施计划,并支持2022年年底前成立一个全球“气候俱乐部”。
但是,他们真的要为这个世界做一点贡献吗?
6月28日,美国“政客”新闻网刊文称,七国领导人虽然表示就应对俄乌冲突、气候变化等挑战方面达成了“前所未有的共同目标”,但实际上他们几乎在所有问题上都未取得任何进展。
文章认为,针对上述议题,都只有“很少的细节和资金”。
大跌眼镜的“较量”
26日,G7领导人在圆桌会议上相互寒暄时,拿普京那张在互联网上广为流传的赤膊骑马照开涮,声称要表现得比普京更“强硬”。英国首相约翰逊更是在会上放话称:“我们得让他们看看我们的胸肌。”
此番针对胸肌的较量引发网络热议,众多网民批评约翰逊等人太过幼稚,令人大跌眼镜。29日,俄罗斯总统普京回应称,G7领导人脱衣服秀胸肌“令人作呕”。
抹黑中国的“扬声器”
七国集团发布了一份剑指中国的联合公报,其中“中国”一词出现了高达14次。
公报用大量篇幅为中国捏造所谓“不公平经济行为”、“强迫劳动”等莫须有的“罪名”,大肆炒作涉台、涉港、新疆、东海、南海以及台海问题。
然而,公报话锋一转,又将话题生硬地拉向了对华合作,要求中国“必须敦促俄罗斯结束对乌战争”。
七国集团将自身价值和标准作为国际通用的价值和标准,对他国指手画脚,煽动对抗情绪,其真正目的无非是借此抹黑和打压中国。
有分析人士指出,G7峰会早已堕落成为美国拉拢盟友、打击中国影响力的傀儡和扬声器。如今的G7峰会,更像是美国外交战略的动员会。
美国将其对中国的打压伪装成它对西方价值观的捍卫,它所谓“正义”的面具背后,隐藏的是满脑子的冷战思维与地缘政治算计。
G7 summit: does it really contribute to the world?
By John Lee
(ECNS) — The three-day “Group of Seven” (G7) summit has come to an end, and an embarrassing political performance was finally concluded. The hypocrisy and hegemonic nature of the G7 were thoroughly exposed during the show.
Promise or boast?
In a joint communiquéissued by the G7 leaders after their meeting, they promised that they “will jointly assume our responsibility and work with partners around the world to find solutions to pressing global challenges.” They also pledged some $600 billion to help build infrastructure projects for developing nations across the globe and unveiled plans to establish a climate club by the end of year 2022.
Do they really intend to make any contribution to the world?
“While they boasted of uncommon and unprecedented shared purpose in tackling all of these challenges, the solutions they endorsed in some cases seemed self-defeating and contradictory,” the American opinion website Politico has commented.
The G7 fails on all fronts, Politico says, adding that “On all of the above, details and real money were notably sparse.”
Embarrassing “battle”
When the G7 leaders greeted each other at a round-table meeting, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau jokingly argued over whether they should undress, with Johnson saying that showing off his “pecs” would make him appear “tougher than Putin.”
This battle of the pecs sparked heated discussions, with many criticizing Johnson and others delegates for being childish and ridiculous.
“I don’t know how they wanted to undress, waist-high or not, but I think it would be a disgusting sight either way,” Russian president Vladimir Putin responded.
A “loudspeaker” for smearing China
In their joint communiquéafter the summit, the word “China” appeared a total of 14 times in the text.
The text is largely critical of China on matters concerning Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and more, smearing China with so-called “unfair economic practices” and “forced labor.”
Yet the communiquéturned the topic abruptly to cooperation with China, calling on us to “press Russia to stop its military aggression.”
The G7 presents its own values and standards as universal values and standards, in order to incite confrontation. Their true purpose is attacking and smearing China.
Analysts point out that the G7 summit has long been reduced to a puppet show and loudspeaker for the United States to win over its allies and attack China. Today’s G7 summit was more like a mobilization meeting to peddle U.S. foreign strategy.
The United States disguised its suppression of China as its defense of Western values. Behind its so-called “justice” mask, the U.S. hides a Cold War mentality with threatening geopolitical interests.
