China on Thursday sharply rejected criticism by the G7 Foreign Ministers as "groundless accusations".
"The
G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting made groundless accusations against
China, grossly interfered in China's internal affairs," dpa news agency
quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin as saying to reporters
here.
"Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang ... are all China's internal affairs."
The
group of economically powerful democracies had issued a statement on
Wednesday at the conclusion of their Foreign Ministers' meeting in
London criticizing the persecution of the Uighur Muslim minority in
Xinjiang and Beijing's tough stance on Hong Kong.
Wang said the
G7 group should pay more attention to the recovery of the global economy
and help developing countries instead of fomenting conflict in the
international community.
The spokesman also took exception to
comments from within the group, including from German Foreign Minister
Heiko Maas, that the G7 group should counter China's vaccine diplomacy.
Wang
pointed out that some G7 countries have suffered the most severely from
the pandemic, even though they have widely developed medical
technology.
The G7 should focus on international cooperation in
the fight against the pandemic and equitable distribution of vaccines,
rather than hoarding vaccines and making "vague and irrelevant remarks"
about other countries' behaviour, the spokesman said.
"We urge
relevant countries to face up to their own domestic problems, to correct
their selfish behaviours in anti-epidemic efforts and stop
over-stretching the concept of national security," Wang said.
