G7 faces Belt and Road Initiative with counter-initiative

The G7 countries want to counter China's new Silk Road with their own global infrastructure initiative. Joe Biden organized a considerable majority at the meeting in Cornwall. However, one country is putting on the brakes: Germany. Meanwhile, the seven established industrial nations spoke out in favor of respecting human rights and a free Hong Kong – but left the question of consequences unanswered.

Seven good-humored heads of state and government, plus the President of the EU Commission and the President of the EU Council, are on a podium on Cornwall beach and beam into the cameras. In the middle stands Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, host of the summit, arms wide open as if to signal: We're all in agreement. There is a general harmony, hardly any bickering: After the G7 was on the verge of splitting in the Trump era, the Western economic powers are presenting themselves as reborn at their summit.
