The world leaders presented a united front against Russia and China, vowing to condemn human-rights abuses and political tactics that stray from their economic and international visions.

Biden, for example, rebuked China for human-rights abuses . "I think China has to start to act more responsibly in terms of international norms on human rights and transparency," he said. "Transparency matters across the board."

In a press briefing, a senior US administration official said the six other leaders maintain "a very strong and shared foundation" in their approach to China. The seven leaders also promised to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

Later, China clapped back , saying "the days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone."

On Russia, Biden said US relations with Moscow have reached a "low point."

"Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms, but they have also bitten off some real problems they're going to have trouble chewing on," Biden said.
