Commenting on the G7 summit underway in Cornwall, China said today that the days are over when “a small group of countries” could decide the fate of the world. “The days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long over,” said a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in London, quoted on the Reuters website. “We believe that countries, large or small, strong or weak, poor or rich, are all equal, and that world affairs must be managed through consultation between countries,” the spokesman added.
