China condemns G7 statements on maritime security

China has criticized the G7 for a recent statement condemning its actions in maritime security. The G7 accused China of dangerous and provocative behavior, particularly regarding its claims in the South China Sea and its stance on Taiwan. In response, China labeled the G7's remarks as arrogant and prejudiced, claiming they misrepresent China's position and interfere in its internal affairs. China has lodged formal complaints with Canada, where the G7 meeting took place. The G7 emphasized the importance of peace in the Taiwan Strait and expressed concerns over China's military activities. China, which claims most of the South China Sea, has increased its military presence in the region and conducted unannounced military drills.
