Since his election as President of the United States, President Joe Biden has been proclaiming that “America is back again.” The main message of the G7 summit, which concluded in the British city of Cornwall, can be summed up in the phrase “The West is back.” The summit is to show unity, purpose, and management to address world issues, and to succeed in the wider world. This main summit, which brings together the seven industrialized countries, which are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Italy and Japan, took place due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic and the defeat of former President Donald Trump in the elections. But while the leaders of these countries meeting in Cornwall showed many ambitions, the summit left behind many questions regarding whether what this summit will offer is equivalent to the speeches that appeared in it.At this summit, many big topics of interest to the Group of Seven countries and the whole world were discussed, such as the Corona vaccine, the climate problem, and the establishment of a global infrastructure that competes with the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. As for Corona vaccines, the G7 summit promised to ship one billion doses of vaccine to developing countries within 12 months. But this quantity, though huge, is still modest in relation to what the world needs, and it is too late. The World Health Organization stated that the world needs 11 billion doses to be able to successfully fight the Corona pandemic. A delay of 12 months could lead to many deaths, not to mention the mutated strains that may evolve from the Corona virus.But this quantity, though huge, is still modest in relation to what the world needs, and it is too late.

Rivalry with China

The competition with China was the basic idea of ​​many of the deliberations of the summit of the seven countries, but the Chinese authorities are likely to provide types of vaccine to the whole world, greater than what the seven countries can provide, but doubts about the effectiveness of the Chinese vaccine may not be real, and these vaccines may be The Chinese are a blessing to the world.

The consensus of the seven countries to push against China's rising influence in the world was evident in the G7's achievement of something Western and different from the "Belt and Road" initiative undertaken by China with the aim of creating infrastructure in various parts of the developing world.

The Western idea was that the G7 would provide the appropriate supplies to solve the problem of global warming, in addition to more transparency related to loans and governance, but the G7 is likely to provide scarce money, while Chinese banks and companies are working hard on important initiatives in the world An example of this is the development of the new capital of the Arab State of Egypt.

question

In addition to headlines and headlines, there is a deeper question about the Western world's determination to oppose China. Even within the same seven countries, it was clear that the language used by Japan and the United States was more powerful than the rhetoric used by European countries. It is clear that the four countries that were invited to the G7 summit, especially India and Australia, are a necessity for any efforts aimed at organizing the democratic world against China. But this talk began before the G7 summit, when French President Emmanuel Macron pushed for European countries to care about what he called their “independence when it comes to our China strategy.” These sentiments could be shared by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and to some extent also. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.An angry official from a Western country described Johnson as "still wanting to take his cake and eat it in China" and the G7 cannot get away from the fact that cooperation with China is very important to address domestic climate change, and what the leaders of the seven countries who met in Cornwall have tried to do is add the administration Skilled to global efforts made. The countries of the group put forward bold plans to shut down coal-fired power plants as quickly as possible, and protect 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030. The summit's official communique was bound to be a little sweet in its thoughts, but doubts remain that Practical steps to achieve these goals will not be forthcoming.The countries of the group put forward bold plans to shut down coal-fired power plants as quickly as possible, and protect 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030.

Russian silence on 'ransom attacks'

After the Cornwall summit, Biden's next stop was at the NATO summit in Brussels, and then his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The final statement of the Group of Seven called for an investigation into the use of chemical weapons on Russian soil, in addition to Russia's silence about "ransom attacks", which are launched by people residing on Russian soil, (which is a cyber attack through which files are encrypted on a party's computer, They are only opened after a ransom is paid), and there is hope that Putin will be influenced by the demonstrations of unity and determination shown by the Western nations in Cornwall and Brussels. The 12-month G7 summit is sure to mark a strong departure from the years of former President Donald Trump, who seemed more eager to fan the flames of division with allies than to show unity. Even Johnson, who was a friend of Trump, was sure to be honest when he described Biden as "fresh air to breathe" the Western alliance.Putin, in addition to Chinese President Xi Jinping, will notice that conditions have clearly changed in the Western alliance, after Trump's departure from the White House, but will the Chinese and the Russians be affected? Maybe not.

• The seven countries unanimously pushed to oppose China's growing influence in the world, and this was evident in the Group of Seven countries accomplishing something Western and different from the "Belt and Road" initiative undertaken by China with the aim of establishing infrastructure in various parts of the developing world.

The Western idea was that the Group of Seven countries would provide the appropriate requirements to solve the problem of global warming, in addition to more transparency related to loans and governance.

• It became clear that the four countries that were invited to the summit of the seven countries, especially India and Australia, are a necessity for any efforts aimed at organizing the democratic world against China.
