Chinese netizens mock G7 photo

How ?? by your failed BRI ??

Failed? On what account. Trade with BRI countries is constantly growing. More and more countries like to jump in including the very US semi-vassal Japan. Even SP12 is looking for ways to gracefully enter.

As long as China continues to grow about 6%, as has been predicted by international institutions, parity is unavoidable. And good as well. The richer China is, the richer Vietnam is. And vice versa.

CN is juts like JP in WW2 believed that if they tie up wt nazi and could take control of Asia, then they could defeat US and broke US's sanction slapping on them

What is the use of JP and other BRI members ?? will they promise to stay wt CN for good ..or they will stop BRI when they want like Malaysia ??

Chinese netizens mock G7 photo

Chinese netizens have mocked the "dramatic" G7 photos of world leaders by comparing them with the harmonious photos of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Several versions of the G7 photo have been posted online. There's the French, Italian and US version, an oil painting and a "Last Supper" version.

The photo was first posted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel's office on Instagram on Saturday when the Group of Seven Summit brought together leaders, including US President Donald Trump, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May.

The first G7 photo that went viral online shows Merkel standing along with other world leaders, with both of her hands on top of a narrow desk while staring at a seated Trump with crossed arms and a smirk on his face.

"Ordinary Chinese don't care about G7 but the photo triggered interest among Chinese netizens," Liu Weidong, a research fellow at the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

"The photo presents an unequal and antagonistic G7 group. It's complicated. Each leader shows a distinct personality - Germany challenging the US, and Abe being submissive to Trump," Liu said.

Chinese netizens also compared the photo with one from the SCO summit showing Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other leaders from SCO member nations smiling.

The WeChat account of People's Daily released the two photos together in one article, titled "Check those pictures! Two summits in one day, two photos, huge difference."

The article has been widely circulated on Chinese internet, receiving over 100,000 views.

WeChat user "Guoyadong" said, "This is the difference between a responsible power and irresponsible power. A responsible nation is always respected by others."

My first impression of photos: G7, a meeting of humans. Comical, but relatable.

SCO a well organised meeting of soulless stiffs with South Asians marginalised (Both the South Asians look lost and uncomfortable).

Interesting impressions. But the SCO photo is the official one. The G7 official photo would look similar (except a potential clownish act by a certain leader). We need to find out images of bilateral/multilateral working groups (the SCO had many from this Saturday) from the SCO Summit.

My impression of the G7 unofficial image is that the US is being marginalized while the SCO seems to be working in harmony. Remember, just as in the G7, no document can be released by the SCO without full consensus by the member states. It is a consensus based institution, not majority one.

So, the SCO looks more efficient and harmonious.
