G7 Leaders Meet Without China Amid Debate Over Group's Relevance
The G7 summit, originally formed in 1975 without China due to political and ideological differences, now faces questions about its relevance given China's significant economic growth. China's economy surpasses most G7 members except the U.S., prompting debate on whether its exclusion undermines the group's global influence. However, the G7's informal rule of admitting only democracies continues to exclude China, which remains a key discussion topic amid cautious relations with the bloc.
