G7 isn''t simply the 7 largest economies.
If it were well Canada has a smaller economy than Italy so they''d be out first.
“The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal bloc of industrialized democracies…that meets annually to discuss issues such as global economic governance, international security, and energy policy. ”
It''s started in 1975 as Group of Six which were all non-communist states. After the OPEC oil embargo there needed to be a place to discuss world problems, or at least problems facing free-market capitalist countries.
Given that China does not have as the same issues as the others in the sense that it''s not a truly capitalist open free-trading country then it doesn''t make much sense. Also it''s not democratic.
Given that Russia chopped of a bit of what many consider Ukraine, that''s not exactly democratic. (in the eyes of the other members.)
Given that India isn''t industrialised or developed to the same extent as the other countries in the group then the problems they face are not very similar.
It''s not a group of big economies it''s a group of similar countries with similar issues they wish to address and discuss together.

G7不仅仅代表世界上7个最大的经济体。
如果是的话,那么加拿大的经济规模比意大利小,那么加拿大首先就会被排除在外。
“七国集团(G7)是一个非正式的发达民主国家集团......每年会议讨论全球经济治理、国际安全和能源政策等议题。”
它于1975年开始作为六个非共产主义国家的组合。石油输出国组织的石油禁运之后,需要一个讨论世界问题的地方,或者至少是面对自由市场资本主义国家的问题。
考虑到中国在一些方面没有同其他国家面临的同样问题,例如它不是一个真正的资本主义开放的自由贸易国家,所以这没有太多的意义。并且它不是MZ国家。
考虑到俄罗斯吞并了许多人认为是乌克兰的一部分,这不算很民主(在其他成员眼中);
考虑到印度的工业化或发展水平不及该组织其他成员国,因此,他们面临的问题不是非常类似。
这不是一个由大经济体组成的群体,而是由类似的国家组成的群体,这些国家面临的问题相似,他们希望共同讨论。

Is there some reason why Italy shouldn’t be part of it?
Italy has the eighth-highest GDP of any country in the world, and two of those ahead of it, China and India, aren’t part of the G7. Italy has a higher GDP than Canada, which ranks 10th in the world, and when it was the G8 and Russia was a part of it, they rank 11th.
There’s no reason I see why Italy shouldn’t have a place at the table if it wants one. And I can understand why they would, since they’re third (at best, and then only if we factor out the departing UK) in the EU pecking order, and I doubt the EU reps really take anyone except Germany and France’s concerns all that seriously.

意大利为什么不能成为G7的成员之一呢?意大利GDP排名世界第八,排在它前面的国家中,中国和印度都不是G7成员国。意大利的GDP比排名第十的加拿大还要高,而当G8还包括俄罗斯在内时,它排名第十一。我认为如果意大利想要加入,没有理由不让它有一个席位。我可以理解为什么他们想要加入,因为在欧盟国家中,除了德国和法国,他们排名第三(最好的情况,只有在排除即将离开的英国)。我怀疑欧盟代表并不真正认真考虑任何除了德国和法国以外的国家的问题。

Why shouldn’t it be?
When G7 was first introduced in the 1980s, Italy had a higher GDP per capita than the UK. Back then Italian economy was on par with the UK, France and even Germany.
After the 1990s Italy fell behind, but even today it’s still one of the richest countries in the world with a sizable advanced economy. It’s the third largest economy within the EU (after Germany and France) and the 8th largest in the world. Of course it qualifies to be in the G7.

为什么不应该呢?当G7在1980年代首次推出时,意大利的人均GDP比英国更高。那时,意大利经济与英国、法国甚至德国处于同一水平。虽然在1990年代之后,意大利落后了,但即使在今天,它仍然是世界上最富裕的国家之一,在经济上也有相当规模的先进经济体。它是欧盟中第三大经济体(仅次于德国和法国),在世界上排名第八。当然它有资格加入G7。

In this picture you can find the reason. Italy is the 8th biggest economy in the world according to GDP. Now you must be thinking why China and India are not part of it. Look at GDP pre Capita. India has only 2000$ and China 10.000$. Furthermore G7 it's also an alliance between Western Countries, dont'forget this!

在这张图片中,你可以找到原因。按GDP计算,意大利是世界第8大经济体。现在你可能会想,为什么中国和印度不是其中之一。看看人均GDP。印度只有2000美元,中国是1万美元。此外,G7也是西方国家的联盟,不要忘记这一点!
