2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Mao Ning, spokeswoman, Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"China's position on the Taiwan question and other issues is consistent, clear, justified, and aboveboard. The statement ignores objective facts and China's positive contributions to world peace, stability and development, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, and maliciously smears and vilifies China. The relevant content is absurd in its wording and once again proves that the Group 7 is an ideological small circle driven by a Cold War mentality and engaging in bloc politics, and they can by no means represent the international community at all. We urge the G7 to address its own business, fulfill its own responsibilities, and play a positive role in coping with various pressing challenges today and promoting international solidarity."

The G7 is an ideological small circle driven by a Cold War mentality, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning at a press briefing in Beijing on Thursday while refuting a joint statement issued by the group's foreign ministers regarding China's Taiwan region.

"China's position on the Taiwan question and other issues is consistent, clear, justified, and aboveboard. The statement ignores objective facts and China's positive contributions to world peace, stability and development, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, and maliciously smears and vilifies China. The relevant content is absurd in its wording and once again proves that the Group 7 is an ideological small circle driven by a Cold War mentality and engaging in bloc politics, and they can by no means represent the international community at all. We urge the G7 to address its own business, fulfill its own responsibilities, and play a positive role in coping with various pressing challenges today and promoting international solidarity," Mao said.
