HIROSHIMA, Japan: China represents the world's greatest challenge to security and prosperity, but other leading economies should not seek to fully decouple from it, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Sunday after a summit of the Group of Seven nations.
Sunak said Britain and other G7 countries would pursue a common approach to reduce the challenges posed by China. Tensions have risen as China has become increasingly assertive about the self-governed island, which Beijing claims as its own. China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.
Sunak also said Britain would start training Ukrainian pilots this summer to support its air force in its war with Russia.
