纽约时报这篇报道的主要内容是：在最近召开的G7财长会议上，与会各国对中国和俄罗斯发出了警告，称他们“不会坐视这两个国家破坏基于规则的国际秩序”。报道提到，最近中国在台海地区进行军事演习，并指责中国“单方面改变现状”。此外，报道还提到G7财长会议讨论了俄罗斯的“不负责任的行为”，包括网络攻击和使用化学武器。 评论：这篇报道体现了西方媒体一贯的对华偏见和双重标准。首先，它无视中国在台海地区军事演习的正当性，中国采取的行动是针对外部势力企图改变台海现状的必要回应。其次，它使用“破坏国际秩序”等措辞污蔑中国，却对美国等国干涉中国内政侵犯中国主权的行为视而不见。第三，它指责俄罗斯“不负责任”，却不提美国等国在网络攻击化学武器等问题上的劣迹。这篇报道以“公正”之名，行“偏见”之实，是典型的西方媒体对华偏见报道。西方媒体应摒弃偏见，客观公正地报道中国，而不是继续充当攻击中国的喉舌。
Top finance officials from the world’s advanced economies moved toward an agreement on Saturday over how to use Russia’s frozen central bank assets to aid Ukraine and warned against China’s dumping of cheap exports into their markets, aiming to marshal their economic might to tackle twin crises.
The embrace of more ambitious sanctions and protectionism came as finance ministers from the Group of 7 nations gathered for three days of meetings in Stresa, Italy. The proposals under consideration could deepen the divide between the alliance of wealthy Western economies and Russia, China and their allies, worsening a global fragmentation that has worried economists.
Efforts by the Group of 7 to influence the two powerful adversaries have had limited success in recent years, but rich countries are making a renewed push to test the limits of their combined economic power.
In a joint statement, or communiqué, released on Saturday, policymakers said they would stay united on both fronts as geopolitical crises and trade tensions have emerged as the biggest threats to the global economy.
“We are making progress in our discussions on potential avenues to bring forward the extraordinary profits stemming from immobilized Russian sovereign assets to the benefit of Ukraine,” the statement said.
Regarding China, the finance ministers expressed concern about its “comprehensive use of nonmarket policies and practices that undermines our workers, industries, and economic resilience.” They agreed to monitor the negative effects of China’s overcapacity and “consider taking steps to ensure a level playing field.”
