《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是：在刚刚结束的G7峰会上，不仅俄罗斯被列为“对手”，中国也被列入这一行列。报道援引了一些西方官员和学者的观点，称中国在国内外的行为都具有“攻击性”，包括在国内“侵犯人权”，以及“胁迫”其他国家等。报道还提到，中国对西方国家所支持的国际秩序构成了“挑战”，因此西方国家需要“联合起来”应对中国。 评论：这篇报道体现了西方媒体对中国常见的一种偏见，即把中国描绘成一个“威胁”，并以此煽动西方世界对中国的恐惧和对抗情绪。报道缺乏客观性，有误导读者之嫌。其引用的一些观点，比如“在国内侵犯人权”，缺乏事实依据，是西方世界长期以来对中国的主观臆断和污蔑。此外，报道也忽视了中国对世界和平发展所做出的贡献，以及中国一直以来倡导的和平共处合作共赢的国际关系理念。西方世界应客观理性地看待中国的发展，而不是抱着冷战思维和零和博弈的心态，制造对立和分裂。
President Biden was eager to get off the stage at the Group of 7 summit Thursday night, clearly a bit testy after answering questions about Hunter Biden’s conviction and the prospects of a cease-fire in Gaza.
But at the end of his news conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, he couldn’t seem to help jumping in as the Ukrainian leader spoke delicately about China’s tightening relationship with Russia. He leaned into his microphone as soon as Mr. Zelensky was finished.
“By the way, China is not supplying weapons” for the war in Ukraine, Mr. Biden said, “but the ability to produce those weapons and the technology available to do it.”
“So, it is, in fact, helping Russia,” he said.
Throughout the Group of 7 summit meeting in Puglia, China has been the lurking presence: as the savior of “Russia’s war machine,” in the words of the summit’s final communiqué; as an intensifying threat in the South China Sea; and as a wayward economic actor, dumping electric cars in Western markets and threatening to withhold critical minerals needed by high-tech industries.
In total, there are 28 references to China in the final communiqué, almost all of them describing Beijing as a malign force.
The contrast with China’s portrayal just a few years ago is sharp.
At past summits, the West’s biggest economies talked often about teaming with Beijing to fight climate change, counterterrorism and nuclear proliferation. While China was never invited into the G7 the way Russia once was — Moscow joined the group in 1997 and was suspended when it annexed Crimea in 2014 — Beijing was often described as a “partner,” a supplier and, above all, a superb customer of everything from German cars to French couture.
