Why China is not included in G7
The G7 meeting is taking place at a time when the international situation has changed completely. The era of the Trump administration in the US is over.
The US is now in the hands of newly elected President Joe Biden. Neglect of Trump He is considered liberal in international relations.
Despite this, China’s relations with all European countries, including the US, on issues like the South China Sea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are tense.

After all, why China is not a member of the G7
One question here is why China is not involved in the superpower race. Actually, China is the second-largest economy in the world, yet it is not a part of this group.
A big reason for this is that it is the country with the largest population in the world. Because of this, per capita income wealth in China is much lower than in G7 group countries.
As such, China is not considered an advanced or developed economy. This is why China is not included in this group.
However, China is part of the group of G20 countries. By joining this group, he is working on increasing the number of cities like Shanghai.
Russia was also part of it once.
In 1998, Russia joined the G-7. The G-8 was formed with Russia joining. Russia was suspended from the group in 2014 after the Crimea annexation from Ukraine.
However, there has been a demand to include Russia in this organization.
Former US President Donald Trump believed that Russia should be included in the group again. At present, both China and Russia are not part of this organization.
The first meeting was held in 1975
