China continues to ignore calls to stop large-scale reclamation in theSouth China Sea while slamming the Group of Seven nations for being "out of step." Without naming countries, the G7 leaders strongly opposed the use of intimidation, coercion or force, as well as any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo, such as large-scale land reclamation. The G7, which compromises the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan,m was concerned about the tensions in the region and called for countries to abide by international law.
