In its statement, G7 expressed support for the right of claimants to seek peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law, including through legal dispute settlement mechanisms. G7 is a forum of leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, US, United Kingdom and the European Union. US President Barack Obama and other concerned American officials have also expressed alarm over China’s massive reclamation activities and said smaller countries should not be elbowed out or bullied by Beijing just because of its size and muscle.
