On the second day of the G-7 summit in Hiroshima, economic security has become a significant focus. The leaders of the G-7 countries, namely the United States, the U.K., Japan, Canada, Germany, France, and Italy, are expected to announce a shared set of tools to confront China’s “economic coercion” and protect against Beijing’s attempts to influence state affairs without decoupling from the country. Among these tools, steps to secure supply chains and safeguard sensitive technology, such as export controls and investment measures, will feature prominently. The leaders are also expected to emphasize their aim of “de-risking” from China rather than decoupling entirely. China’s increased efforts to leverage its economic power to effect political change worldwide have led to calls for action against its economic coercion. For example, when Australia called for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19, China imposed trade sanctions on select Australian products. Other countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Lithuania, have faced similar treatment for challenging Chinese interests. The U.K.’s Foreign Secretary, Rishi Sunak, warned about China’s economic coercion ahead of the G-7 meeting. To counter these actions, the G-7 leaders are proposing a strategy to boost infrastructure investments in underdeveloped countries as an alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. They are also promising not to rely on China for critical minerals and striving to build diverse and resilient supply chains for clean energy. Additionally, there are plans to increase outreach to Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific to counter China’s growing influence in these regions.
