G7 leaders place more responsibility on China to end Russian aggression in Ukraine. G7 countries see it as China having a greater share of responsibility for the war.

China considers China neutral in the "conflict in Ukraine" China would never call Russia an ally, because Chinese foreign policy follows the principle of saying China has no allies. Europe has launched its own concept lately: Europe thinks it should deal with China through what it calls de-risking, finding ways to protect itself from harmful Chinese influence.
