However, China called slammed the G7 nation’s statement even calling it as “out of step.”

“What the G7 does and says are way out of step with the facts and the internationally recognized principles,” Hong said.
“As a sovereign state, China will make necessary response to any attempt to undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Chinese official warned
The G7, composed of US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, was concerned about territorial tensions thus calling all regions to abide the international law.
